in good ol gear inches, my 26in bike with 44/11 and 2in wheels gives roiughly 103g.i, my 25+ year old tourer with 700/28mm wheels and 50/13 gave the same 103 g.i
and my mtn bike with 26/1.5 and 42/11 gives 95g.i

95 spins out at about 50or kph if I spin the crap out of it, I dunno, 120 rpm or more
103 spins out at about 55-60 if I spin the slightly less crap out of it

if you ride unloaded, a higher high would be nice, but then again, how often do you get to get to those speeds, I dont that often, as much as I'd like to go faster.

ps, on my other bike, with 111.5 g.i, I can sometimes get to about 70kph if I spin the crap out of it, but that aint happening that often, but I do admit for unloaded riding, I'd want a minimum of this as a high gear as I do like cranking down hills when I can.
