BUT... riding a heavier bike and being a clydesdale myself, NO ONE can catch me on the descents. Possibly cuz I"m on every descent, especially the twisty ones.

My Moots is right at 14lbs now so she loves to go up! I'm a little gunshy on descents now since I had a nasty wreck in April and broke my collarbone...separated shoulder...road rash...etc, etc. The usual nasty bike stuff when spandex meets pave. How big are you? My buddy is about 6'4" and he drops off the hills like a falcon...I'm pretty small so I generally just meet him at the next stop sign. :)
