Psyrax Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 José Meiffret was a cyclist who set a world motor-paced speed record of 204.73 km/h (127.243 mi/h) behind a Mercedes-Benz 300SL on the German Autobahn on July 19, 1962 at Freiburg Germany. This record was set on a bicycle setup with a 130-tooth chainring, weighing 20 kg and equipped with wooden rims. If metal rims were used it would have over heated.
Guest notmyname Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 It's not even red! This must be a hoax.
Maniax Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 And here I though FRAIL's chainring was insane!

Wyatt Earp Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Why is the fork the "wrong" way around?Because he forked off fast .

Falco Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Why is the fork the "wrong" way around? It's to allow him to get as close to the car as possible. It if was the "right" way around, he would be positioned about 6cm further back, which would contribute to drag. Right?
Bomberman Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I see its a 26er in the front and a 29er on the back........ could be the end to all our squabbles?
Wolfie1 Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Come now... fastest bike in the world would be peddled by the guy trying to get away from a hungry lion
