That's the thing, i think it depends on how well you can adapt with what you have. that's what i have noticed with my bike. the f/d is shimano altus and the r/d is shimano deore and i find the f/d can be a bit of a pig to swap cogs at low speeds. but i have learned to adapt, keep the cadence high and speed high and it will comply fine. but that bike of yours looks dam nice and would be a dream to ride compared to mine. im actually thinking of getting a 2010-2011 trek 1.2 as they are a run out special atm. Any thoughts for a enthusiastic beginner like me?
