Yep - holder of the British hour record at a smidge under 50 miles, and done in terrible conditions, too.andharwheel said:...Rob is very fit...
Indeed - Ymte Sijbrandij and Hans Wessels 100km at >50kph in a Quest, without looking particularly shattered afterwards, is pretty good going (at this year's Worlds).andharwheel said:...so are some of the Dutch and Belgian racers...
NickM said:Well, not the Windcheetah - it has too many wheels. The best use of a third wheel is to stop a fully enclosed machine from falling over when it stops!

It occurs to me that my reply above isn't much help if the OP is actually looking for a fast road bike. If you are, spandex, I can recommend the Challenge Fujin - possibly the SL I model with its aluminium seat, fitted with a Novosport tailbox. Something like this. It would be a practical roadgoing bike (rather than a racetrack-only machine), and at least as fast as any upright over mixed terrain.
