    A bike either has the right gears for what you need, or does not, the number is just that, a number.

    in reality a 3x9 has about 13 discrete gears (the rest are overlaps) a 2x9 has 11, the Fuji is quite a bit lighter and has carbon forks (usually comfier), you pays your money.....
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.
