im running 172.5mm cranks and 700x23c. i think i can go 72" on the flat, cos i can get up just about all the hills in hastings on 59"
Get yourself some 165 cranks, that will improve your cadence. I can hold 197rpm on 42x18 for about 2miles, it works out about 38mph on the flat.
Do lots of short fast efforts either on rollers or downhill sprints about 150-200m
