Trying to lay claim to greatness in the face of everyone doing sub 50 these days?
You might as well pick a number out of the air, there are so many unknowns, and 5 minutes is not outside the bounds of possibility assuming you could make the same power in a modern position that you did on a lo pro, although I suspect that for anybody fairly well sorted in 1990, the true figure is less than half that.

Could anyone guesstimate what a 55 minute 25 ridden on a steel lo pro and 28 spoke shallow rim wheels (pre tri bars) would equate to now? Assuming modern kit and wind tunnel testing, plus aero socks and modern skins it.
