Your gear/speed

I recently just purchased the Specialized Globe Roll 1, and switched out the 46/18 gears from Raleigh rush hour, and handlebars with bullhorns.
I've gone up to 47km/h downhill and 43km/h on flat.

I'm curious what speed everyone can get with their gears on flat.

You must spin like 150 rpm+ that's really impressive.

Meh. I can still do 200, and I'm in my late 60s.
