HLaudio, I've been curious about a 50T myself. Approaching the point where 48T may be too easy as well. But it's also good for moderate hills, so I've been hesitant. Stay safe. We both know Florida is not pedestrian or bicycle friendly for the most part. Although I moved last Winter after 14 years in Riverview, I recommend Critical Mass in downtown Tampa if you ever get a chance. Check them out on MeetUp. Friendly group of riders, with numbers around 140 cyclist.
