First ride on my new bike today and my god did i miss my tripple front ring didn't know what had hit me on the climbs think a bit (lot) more fitness required. :oops:

I started road biking with a 50-36 and 12-23, and not once did I think I lacked low gears, I just thought I was unfit/untrained - now I wouldn't even consider a triple on a "Racing" bike.

I cycle on a road bike. Is a racing bike something one might aspire to?
