Nice!. What year and model is your Emonda? I just recently turned 65 and bought a new 2022 Emonda SL 5 Disc a couple of months ago as a reward to myself after dropping from over 270 pounds to 180. Unfortunately, it's getting too cold and wet to ride it much this time of the year. I ordered carbon wheels too, but they aren't due to arrive until February. I'm heading south for the winter and taking my 2002 Klein Quantum with me. The Klein has a 53/39t chain ring setup and a 12-25t 9spd cassette. It's ideal for the flat roads of Florida. The Emonda has 50/34t chain rings and an 11-30t 11spd cassette, which is better for the hills of PA. The Emonda climbs like no other bike I've ever had. I love it.
