FYI, a bike I sold a few days ago with my port work & a 36T sprocket, was clocked at 37 MPH.
Well Ghost0 just posted 35 mph easy - OK wobbly wheels - so I don't see why a stable bike won't hit 40+, but I fail to see this total fascination with top speed. That's plenty fast and I can guarantee with gears you will get there a heck of a lot quicker.

My bike (test bike #2) has about as LOW as we want to go with a (perhaps) optional supplied gear. Top end is pretty fine, low you can ride comfortably on any dirt trail, back yard, etc.
