Yay! I made in here :-)
The max gear limit was only applicable for a road race. All us young 'uns had to go through bike inspection where they'd roll your bike between two lines and wind your rear mech in so you couldn't get the bigger gears. I'm sure it was all done to save our knees!
Private riding or time trials you were allowed to ride whatever you wanted.

Should've known that the maximum gear allowed to juniors was about 50x15 when God and I were both boys.
