  • That cockpit looks far too cramped for climbing, so why the triple?

    Poor position for the climb back up surely makes it even more imperative to have the low gearing

    Exactly.

    Although, I dont really like that particular build of the frame. The frame has a lowish BB (for a AM bike), to further expliot the fact that all the pivoting gubbins is around the BB. To give a low center of gravity and nice handling (or so the hype says). It also has an idler pully in the upper chainstay to prevent pedal bob. Given it has the tabs for it. I'd run one of these.

    (and, OK Gabe, bar-ends to get the most out of the up and down qualities of the frame. But dont tell anyone)
