I am looking at the Shiv S Works but I wanted to know how the bike works climbing hills(steep) and what is your expirience with the sprinting abilities for the bike? thanks
What is a sprint? :D If you are sprinting on this bike, you need to pace better. Sprinting = bad for your run.
Steep hills are fine. The bike is stiff. It's stiffer - torsionally - than the SL3 (if my memory serves me correctly, which it usually does), which climbs superbly.
If climbing/sprinting are key to you, I'd probably steer you towards the Shiv TT over the Shiv Tri, though. The Shiv Tri frameset is not optimized for those things. It's capable, but not as much as the Shiv TT, in my OPINION. Data-wise, it's hard to really nail down a significant difference.
