This brings back memories of back in the day when a lot of people were pedaling DH bikes up Fromme. The grunt up the road was well worth it for the descent on a TeamDH with Monsters. You wouldn't want to be pedaling something like that up No Quarter or GSM, but for the extra 10-15mins it took to go up the road compared to a smaller bike it was worth it for the ride down. There is a certain fun factor to be had riding a plow that you can't get with a scalpel. Reading this review makes me think that you'll not only have an easier pedal up with the new Shore but even more reward on the way down. And the added bonus is that your fitness will be better for it.
