fast rpm's? nah, just sit comfy and toodle up at 55-60 rpm. i timed myself on a 30km 8-10% climb, averaging 6.0 km/h, or 3.7 mph.
anyhoo, i'll be getting this bike i built a couple years ago. former owner moved, left it in china. built from taobao stuff and leftovers, and a schwinn frame from the seconds/rejected pile.
