The gear inches on these bikes is only about 52-56 inches, depending on tire size. A modern road bike is probably more than twice that at around 125+ inches. It's incredible to maintain a 22 mph speed, even on a flat track at a gear inches of 50 something. Very tough to go up hills at that gearing also.

Are they running pneumatic tires or the old solid rubber ones?

Was the old record solo? Or drafting, like it is here? It makes a huge difference!

Clipless pedals on a bike with which an emergency procedure is to leap off! How logical.

They would of had toe straps in the old days, now penny racers just use mtb or road cleats which is a bit safer than toe straps.

28secs of the record, q? How much more nutrition is in your diet, clean water in abundance before you rode! Better neumatics in your better tyres.

A bunch of amateurs attempting to beat a bunch of pros back in the day. Use a bunch of current pros straight out the Tour de France and they’ll smash it.
