Nice job Hermes. Any idea what your cadence is at 32 mph? When I do my sprints from a standing start I begin in 50/18 and drop gears two at a time once the cadence is above 120. I get seated near the end to be more aero and am somewhere around 130 in the 14 or 13. You must be spinning around 150 to 160.[/QUOTE]

Thanks...According to Sheldon Brown's Gear calculator 51/15 @ 120 rpm yields 31.9 mph. FYI, most of my peers were hitting the high 30s low 40s. I suspect 50/15 would have been a better choice.
