Hippy's MG Bike
I believe that Tony Doyle's 56 (Crabwood event 1980) which put the record on the shelf for 19 years was done on a geared road bike with the gear mechs stopped down to give 72" as top.
Most of the MG record info is here:
http://www.fixedwheel.co.uk/medium%20gear%20history.htm
But I don't think that site mentions the road bike aspect of TD's record.
No, but you will be mocked by all the proper riders when you have to go through scrutineering in reverse.
