I use a 53/39 175mm with a 11-23 cassette during racing season and a 12-25 on training wheels for the off season.
Track bike gearing 50x15 170mm, then 51x15 (for motorpacing).
I have you by 9 years (61) and my cadence stats are about the same. Climbing 70 to 85, off the front 90 to 100, sitting in 100 to 115, sprinting 140, pursuit 105 to 110 and motor pacing at the track 110 to 120 rpm (47/15 172.5 cranks). I use a compact with an 11/26 or 11/23 cassette on my road bike.
