Saw this earlier today elsewhere. Brilliant video.
Unfortunately motor paced bicycle speed records exceeded 100mph in the 1940's (http://www.bicyclemuseum.com/assets/Letourner.pdf) - so hopefully their next attempt is a little better

Well the idea wasn't to break a record, not initially anyway. I think his main aim was just to have some fun and build a bike using basic materials. It seemed to me that they were majorly hindered by the testing location and vehicle choice!
Awesome video. Nice find. Thanks for the share.
Thanks for sharing.
Saw the Enve wheels and x brand? tires.
It would be interesting to know up to what speed Enve or other wheel and some regular tire manufacturer would have their products tested to rate
them as "safe".

Those sloping pursuit bars look mean.

It's shown on his website with Gatorskins. http://www.donhoubicycles.com/land-speed-bike/
ENVE posted the video on their facebook so I assume all is well. They have probably published the information somewhere though.
