It probably is, but the 1987 50 time was set on a steel road bike (my Hirame, you may have seen it), with 12 (count them!) gears. On the other hand, my current 50 mile PB, set on the T3, is 12 minutes faster than what I did in the 80s, so it's still possible that I might actually be genuinely better at 50s than I was a quarter of a century ago.
