I can vouch for that, I was doing 25-27mph and he passed me like I was
sitting still, it needs a nicer fairing tho :)

Is the "Z-Bone" faster than the Velokraft NoCom [Fastest Stock Bike in
the Known Universe], or the similar splitter plate lowracers the best
European HPV racers are now riding? Highly doubtful. Too bad "Johnny
NoCom" is retired.

Martin has tendency to exaggerate a wee bit and to hype his sponsor's bikes
from time to time. I don't know if Reynolds is a sponsor or not, but Martin
has a history of what many have called spamming the newsgroup in the form of
news bulletins.

In any case Martin is making the case that the Z-Bone is the World's Fastest
Production Bike based on a 9 mile time trial put on by the Northeast Bicycle
Club and further states that Reynolds was "blowing off" Cat 1 & 2 road bike
again, and actually terrorizing them in the process.

The facts appear to be that Reynolds, in what is referred to as a fully
faired recumbent, beat the closest road bike by less than three tenths of a
second average speed. I don't think you can claim "World's Fastest
Production Bike Terrorizes" based on this one club time trial. And I doubt
the road bike rider felt either terrorized or blown off.

I don't believe Johnnie NoCom was getting paid for his boasting. Martin may
be.

Martin Krieg posts used to have the benefit of putting knots in Cletus
Lee's knickers.

The thread that link goes to is about an important breakthrough in cycling
eyewear. Maybe you should sort of sum up for us whatever it is that's
being claimed for the world fastest bent.
