Don't recall the gearing, never been ridden; used to hang in my office until I closed it a few years ago and work at home; now its in storage along with about 20 other bikes. Was in a show in LA 10 years ago, but it was my Hetchins that won a prize!
Pacing is riding behind another bicycle or motorcycle to increase speed; used for training and there are some events too I believe. "Stayer" I imagine comes from staying with the one being followed, don't know for sure, never rode track myself. Found this online:
stayer - a person or other animal having powers of endurance or perseverance; "the horse that won the race is a good stayer"
