Jay, I was wrong about the gearing on the Baron. Instead of the compact double, it has a 39-53T on the front and 12-28 on the rear. Not the best for climbing steep hills. Tongue

Yeah, that's White Rock Lake trail gearing.

That is for sure. 34" to 107" gearing. I am starting to get my legs and lungs back into riding shape. Climbing some of the larger hills around Sanger and Argyle with the lowest gearing of 34" will do that! I am still about a month from really being in shape. I supplement that by hooking the grand kids wagon to my trike and pulling them both up my daughter's driveway, which starts at 3% and goes to 9% grade. They love it while PA is grunting hard! ha.
