Well, actually, I ride a custom Raliegh road bike. Aluminum frame, which
makes for the stiffest ride ever! I just weighed it in at 24 pounds with
all the crap on it. I intend to upgrade it more later.
BTW, At that speed I was spinning at about 110 rpm (crank rpms) and I was
riding 52 teeth in front, and 14 in the rear. I plan on getting a 10 in the
rear for more speed!
