Sweet! Looks like it would be a hill-killer.  A climbing beast (and I mean that in the good sense), with the rear wheel tucked in tight under the seat like that.  Jim, when you ride with Lynn and hit the hills, do I need to guess from which aspect you would most likely be viewing the lady and her bike?

GT used (or maybe still does) that frame design on their hard tail Zaskar mtn. bikes.  Supposedly this gave them fantastic stiffness (too stiff, apparently, for the aluminum versions, which was a punishingly harsh ride; but not so for the Ti builds) and great climbing ability.  Time proven GT design.

Nice bike, Lynn!
