Well it seems like you are comparing apples to oranges. The weights of the bikes are surely different, as are the tire sizes. Both of which would account for the speed differential.
Even still, have you checked to be sure you don't have a brake rubbing on the tire?

Yes, I did check to see if there was a brake rubbing on the tire. I learned to do that after I rode 12 miles around one of the hilly lake trails with the front brake rubbing against the tire. I thought I was just tired and uncoordinated that day. I took triple exercise points that day. Now I check everything before we ride and before I put the bike away. It seems when we put the bicycles on the bike rack we sometimes knock the brake a little.
Oh, I didn't even look at my MPH that day.kajero
