It is listed with the diablo but it is called the Varna2. An older version of the diablo that I modified to diablo specs. It has been to 62 mph as the original version ridden by Sam in the early 90s.
My modified version went to 66.6 powered by a woman, Lisa Vetterlein. It broke the record in 2005.
Later we had it ridden by a guy, Rob English, who did some efforts in one hour competition with some success, setting a British record. It is hanging on my wall somewhat like a hunter who would hang the head of his rhino.
If the right circumstances were to pop up. It could be brought down off the wall and raced again. Not a bad career for a bicycle. Top mens record and top womans record.
