Note in the image how the shape is optimally curved for ideal
aquadynamics. In fact, its so sleek, I declare it fastest stock poo in
the world.

Well ZootSuit,

You will never be able to build anything as fast as the NoCom which is
the fastest stock bike in the known universe.

Either get with the program Zoot and ride a street luge OR stay on the
sidewalk where you belong. Slow moving FOGs belong on the sidewalk.

And might I add, your universe is only "your closet, or basement, at
best....a rickity SHED......" Yeah go ahead with your homemade junk,
there is a reason they're ONE OFF......deemed useless to the cycling
community.

Holiday Cheers,
Johnny

Stock, fast of not, makes it just another cookie-cutter bike.

Tom,

You ass hatchet lovers just don't get it, results all over the web point
out 30 to mid 30 mph speeds in crits for unfaired stock bents. Results
you Preparation H covered morons NEVER achieve except downhill
coasting.....

Holiday Cheers,

Johnny

Time for all you intelligent riders to order one just in time for

the
holiday season.

There is nothing better than flying down the road on a splitter

bike and
passing everything in sight including those old school slowracer
antiques and upwrong ass hatchets with slither's of leather up

their ass
.

Holiday Cheers,

Umm, recumbents suck. End of story. And you can't race them anyway.

Misconception huh, you make me laugh with your ill informed, ignorant
mind.....
Stick with your "Bicycle Wheel" a silly ranting unworthy of publication.

Take it to rec.sortacycles.abominations where it belongs.


You may also have noticed that the chain of this freak is so close to
the front wheel that the wheel can't steer. It's about as close as
the chain is to the rear wheel on a conventional bicycle.

An artist's (mis)conception no less.

Benjamin,

In practice, there are several NoCom riders who has ridden 7 thousand miles
in only a few months throughout the Chicagoland area with no problems turning.

The chain does rub the sidewalls on sharp turns occasionally with no ill
effects. Like anything else, time and familiarity with the platform will
lead to success with this land based missile.

Holiday cheers,
Johnny

I find this difficult to tell from the available photographs. This image
gives the best view of the front wheel and chain:

It's hard to tell on this side view, but it looks like the gap between
chain and wheel is a couple of inches, and that coupled with the smaller
diameter wheel makes it look to me like this would only be an issue for low
speed turns. It appears that it was designed for high speeds, rather than
versatility.

Jobst,

What do you know about the chain on the worlds fastest stock bike. You
do not own or ride one. You have one of those slow ass hatchet
hemorrhoid, stick up the ass conventional bicycle things.

No artist conception. Its the real deal and faster than any UCI crap

http://www.wisil.recumbents.com/wisil/misc/nocom.htm

The only thing "conventional" is your brain Jobst. You're in serious
need of an overhaul. Spend some time off your "love post" and get with
the program. Parke Davis and Co. must love you. Preparation H is on
sale at overstock.com.

Holiday Cheers,
Johnny NoCom


I bet you wish you had one too


Now what would that be? Jobst's antiquated noggin or perhaps his obscession
perched atop a Prep H lubed seat post crammed up the ass.

I prefer neither as I'll just pedal away passing all them upwrong
numbnuts.....

Hey, that's another issue of concern. You nosebleeders been taking your
Viagra?

Holiday cheers,

Johnny

The whole idea is wacko with a tiller for a steerer and a chainwheel

This is an aesthetic effort, real fast HPV's are fully faired and

Up to a point, Lord Copper. I have seen (even raced in) HPV events
where there are several bikes with this kind of chain layout. Even
road-usable sporting recumbents tend to have the chain dropped off the
front idler for racing. Not all HPV racing is faired, there are
classes for unfaired, faired, "sports" (which have a minimum height
restriction).

This is neither a competition bicycle
for UCI approved events nor is it a fast HPV.


Not fast? With a moderately fit "engine" It would leave me behind
without too much difficulty, and probably you as well :-)

I expect to see bikes like this on tracks at BHPC meets. I think Mr
Larrington will be along any moment now...


My Sinister Agents report that Mr. Fleming has acquired a NoCom for next
season. I hardly think he would have gone to the trouble and expense of so
doing had he not believed that it would prove significantly faster than his
RatRacer. Moreover, the poverty-afflicted Mr. Gillions is reported to be
confecting something similar in his Shedde.

So how fast can you ride that bike, Johnny?


Carl,

The real issue is, how fast YOU WOULD GO on the NoCom.

Most certainly much quicker than any Tim Brummer non faired bike.

Holiday cheers,

Johnny

I briefly 'campaigned' a Festina Extra Low Racer with the same sort of
setup in regards to the chain and front wheel.

It was fine on the track, and on the road you learned how to deal with
it ... mainly by coasting thru sharp turns. I even took it up and down
Torry Pines ... taking the full car lane at the posted speed limit of
50mph on descent. At 7.5" seat height it was an experience I won't
forget.

Interestingly enough I found the ZOX 26 Z-Frame (lowracer style with
dual 26" wheels) to be faster ... which begs the question if a dual
650c lowracer suitably designed would be faster than the nocom. I
suspect that the size of the rider plays a role in that.

It would also be fun to do some roll-down comparisons between the Nocom
and the M5 Carbon Lowracer.

As always, I am available for destructive testing ....

I believe a faster unfaired recumbent could be built.

1. Dual Aero 650 wheels ... the kind that Nytro sells for about $1000 a
pop.

2. Computer modeled aerodynamic frameset.

Never assume that you have designed "the best possible." There's
always room for improvement.
