I'm riding a 52t chainring on my new machine. The size seems to work well with the look of the bike. I use a 20t Andel sprocket (Parker International £12) and it's as 'street friendly' as it gets. Not so many skid patches but I have a brake anyway. That makes about 68 inches which I may take up to 70 with a 19t to get a bit of speed up! Pedalling with 68 inches is tooooo easy, but not downhill! ;-)
