Back in the 60's I once managed a long 23, and did fairly regular 24's. I was running my standard road bike with 12 gears, whereas the 'testers' would be running a single 6 speed straight through block and had as many drilled out lightening holes in their components as they could get away with.
All this aero stuff hadn't even been thought about.
An aero helmet is on the cards next season and hopefully I'll get down to a '27' again!
