Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

Fook me - would have thought that with a sprocket that size and that much torque + brazing would have ripped the arse off the frame - guess that's why he had a bit of help from the get go. Well good film  :daumenhoch:

Thats exactly what i thought. Probably be easy for him to arrange too as Royce, the cycle fab people in the film, have made parts for Chris Boardman and the like  :daumenhoch:

I think he should start a new TV programme called 'High Gear' and do a slot called 'A Star on a custom designed bike'   :daumenhoch:

They would soon come flocking and see who get the fastest on the damn thing  ;D
