48/19 is a nice, sensible ratio. I've ridden with someone doing RP laps who was on a Fuji with risers on 48/19. He kept up with us and we were all in full Lycra roadie mode. If you think it's too spinny then you need to learn to spin at a higher cadence.
48/19 was my ratio of choice during my (late) fixie skidding career. Speaking of which I must invest in a sweet fixie baike soon.
