I found the figures for my other bike.
This one is (I still have it) a "dirt bike" from about 1974. A Schwinn frame and I put it together using other components (rims, seat, tires, handlebars). See photo.
A single-speed bicycle with a coaster brake. Front tire 20"x1.75" and rear tire 20"x2.25".
Here are the figures I got back in the mid-to-late '70s:
0-10 mph-------------- 3.2 seconds
0-15 mph-------------- 4.2
0-20 mph-------------- 6.5
0-25 mph-------------- 10.0
Passing: 5-15 mph------ 4.3 secs.
--------10-20 mph------ 5.2
Top speed-------------- 27-28 mph on level ground
No 1/4 mile time, but I did do a 400 foot run... 14.2 seconds.
The 10-speed bike, of course, was faster off the line. The single-speed bike took a few seconds to gather some speed, but did well in the mid-range (10-20 mph).
