After thorough searching, this would be as close as I could get to a comfortable hill climber. If a triple crankset would bolt straight on, I'd honestly be all about it. But the BB gives me pause...

100% While smartphone screens are art among light-emitting displays, that makes them near worthless in direct sun, and why even a black-and-gray LCD from 30 years ago looks better in sunlight.
