Short'n sweet, but test riding the Troll after putting a smaller front ring on it (38? from 40), and having to shorten the chain. Took Jet for a spin down the hill around up the school alleyway (which I managed to ride a most of) then back up the hill. Was good to ride that nice light bike again, and I'll be riding it to work occasionally now cos it's low enough geared to not kill me riding home.
Only 2.44 kms, with a measly 80 m climbed.
Rode it to work on Wednesday. Man it felt good. So responsive and light in traffic, and really comfortable! Slightly shorter stem needed (might poach off singlespeed), but otherwise good.
On way up hill in the afternoon, it was long, hard and exhausting, but still good, and much betterer than previous gearing. Need to adjust seat forward and tilted slightly for more climbing comfort, and to compensate for the longer stem it's running.
