Fastest I've pedaled it out on flat ground? Peak at about 32, for extremely short periods of times. Think, 50 yards or so max after being well rested before starting, and I'm dead to even ride 7MPH the next couple minutes.
Fastest I've gone? 39MPH, on a 78 Le Tour with steel wheels in not sunny conditions, coming down the Ambassador Bridge from Canada to Detroit. Gets real exciting when CBP starts pointing and yelling at you, and well steel wheels don't stop that fast in damp condidions
(turns out they had the wrong guy, I swear!)

Regarding the Strava phone GPS, there is one section on every ride that I know it will say I'm doing 31-33MPH. I don't ride that fast on that run, so I finally tracked it down: coming out from under a bridge, it must lose signal and then pick it up, because it flatlines at 0 then spikes.
