I really bought it just to hold me over while I waited for the Laperrier 727 to come available. same company (SBS) sells DB as well as Lappy. wouldn't ja know --- this bike is sweet!!!!
and it climbs like a goat.
I have a 38 tooth chainring with a 11/28 9spd rear cassette.... aka those are NOT climbing gears.
I'm able to climb some of the steep, hilly shit that would give most XC's a run for their money.... not saying it's easy, it being a 38.8lbs bike
very impressed indeed.
