Best I've hit on my hybrid is 34 mph on a mild downhill, and about 20 mph on the flats, though that didn't last for too long before I was sucking air. I'm running 42-11 gears on Vittoria Randonneur...

That's why I've held on to it so long. I've experienced seller's remorse after selling a couple of meaningful (to me) things in the past, and years later still regret having made the sale.
