very nice. What gearing and what's it like on hills ?

thanks, gearing is 52x16 and it flies up the hills as long as they are not stupidly steep. i used to run 52x20, but found it too spinny on the open roads, when going above 25mph.

On a 700c tyre that's nearly 88 GI. Some power in them quads to thunder that up hills. Fair play fella

Smart! God, I wouldn't get anywhere with 52x16. Think I need to lose weight...

Hhmmm yeah I actually really like that stealth look. Real nice. What frame and components make up the build ?
Wife has family in Canada, Saskatchewan. Would love to visit especially in winter.
Great video, and post

The bike is a Trek district Carbon, which comes factory with the Gates Carbon belt drive. I stripped off the rear brake, used a "dropper seat post leaver" as a front brake leaver and just put on the Madfiber Tubular wheels the other day.
