I might ride CO this year on the same bike. We'll see, I am now 66, I do have a bigger cog, a 24 instead of a 23 but is that difference enough? I could ride it on the Mooney and drop that low gear a bunch. (My knees get the final word.)

That’s very impressive, dear Ben. Wow. I wish for building more velodromes, and riding the pista bike unrestrained by no cars. I ride 42-16 with Vuelta alloy wheels from BikeNashbar. For the regular streets I use my 1980 Gios Torino Super Record transformed into a fixie but keeping the Campagnolo Nuovo Record front rear caliper brakes. I will post pictures once I am allowed...
