Jim Farnsworth completes Mt. Washington climb (1971 )
Photo from the February 1972 Bike World.
He was riding a modified Schwinn Paramount, oddly with steel cotter cranks (a throwback to the 50's...he places importance on their length, 223 mm). Low gear of 26F x 34R. His Time was 2:05. The record at the time was held by Jim Eads ( 1:47 )
The current record holder is Thomas Danielson 0:49:24 (2002) MWARBH.
