104-tooth chainring...
These guys built a bike with a 104-tooth chainring to see how fast they could go. Very cool video.

Yeah, I'm thinking I need one on my old mtb to boost the top-end speed.
But there's no epic HD video!

That's definitely some epic aero recumbent engineering. I still like the simplicity of building a regular bike in your workshop and testing the limits though.
