i dont have my own comp, but i did borrow one for a couple of days to test my commute in cornwall.
max speed ive reached was 63mph downhill on my heavy 82gi SS, fully tucked in. i did that hill everyday up and down, but had no idea i was hitting 50+ speeds. i couldnt ride that hill without eye protection.
on the flats i could hit 35 if i was really pushing it.
im going to get one of those knog puters when they are about, as i think i have vastly improved scince then.
