I have just treated myself to a Campag equipped Cinelli my first geared bike in 20 years. Over the last 2 days I have done 65miles over a couple of routes I regularly use on my single speed running 48x19 gearing.
The Cinelli is lighter than my Singlespeed and a fair bit more responsive when you jump up on the pedals you can feel it really putting the power down.
The thing is my average speed over the 2 undulating routes is around 2mph slower on the Cinelli and I have a dull ache in the thighs which I put down to them spinning at different loadings there not used too?
I ride for pleasure around 60 miles a week.
