I think my faster bikes are faster than your faster ones. (not saying this in a snobby way)

1977 Schwinn Suburban: About the same as the 20" folder, as it's darned heavy and quite upright. It does roll easier though and is more comfortable, with its mattress saddle and 27 x 1-1/4" tires.
Priority Apollo 11 gravel bike: Faster. I tend to commute at 13 vs. 11 on the folder.
Trek Domane road bike: I don't commute on this one, but the few times I did, it was about 1 mph faster than the gravel bike

Nice job on the repair. I'll have to look into a local co-op, but I don't think we have one anywhere closer than Milwaukee...
