"Unequivocably Cool Quickbeam Thing" - Item #4

Seated Uphill Climbing -
A good week, riding wise - commuted 4 days out of 5 possible, all of which
were sunny, took the open wheeled racer out on Saturday and tried to
remember what to do with all those danged gears.

Then, this morning, riding this year (this is a big thing) For The First
Time Without Knee Or Armwarmers (ok, it was a little, um, ugly too...), I
chanced to ride up a same hill that I'd ridden this week on three different
bikes before the Quickbeam today.

But, on a bigger gear than my fixed commuter, and feeling much more
comfortable than my geared coastables, I trucked on up the entire climb
while seated.  Since I'm definitely in a different position on the
Quickbeam, I attribute it to the frame design.  It was a nice suprise when I
thought I'd be sufferin' this AM.

Have I mentioned that I'm really enjoying this bicycle?
