Bikes: Several, mostly not name brands.

Other than the slight efficiency and wear advantages [MENTION=48405]AlmostTrick[/MENTION] notes, if you do skid stops, a ring and/or sprocket with a prime number tooth count will give you the maximum possible number of skid patches, so 47/17 or 52/19 would be the preferred combinations of those you are considering.
