1. Climbing : Moe-Both bikes climbed rather well. I will give the advantage to the Woodstock 505 because of the front fork lock-out. I’m totally sold that hard tails are the bikes to ride if your terrain has a lot of technical or steep climbs. RL- I will have to agree with Moe as far [...]
If it is, then bicycle commuting is dead too. Dangit, I’m always behind the times and the last one to hear these things!
