Oak, thanks for this. J. (my fitter) and I were discussing this yesterday. He made the same estimation you did, that I would top out about 25mph with the set-up he has suggested I consider but would have all of the deeper gearing I want/need.
This is all quite exciting
added: I do realize that it will be different climbing with my Gunnar - different geometry (based on cyclocross design), lighter frame, much lighter wheels (custom 26-inch) - and that it should be easier to climb with it. This bike will travel at least as much as my LHT however, so I have to think about much hiller terrain than what we have in central Indiana. I do wonder, at times, if my very upright riding position interferes a bit with climbing - but that isn't anything that can change.
