You know, I have seen something very similair to this online. In fact I think the idea has already been done. check out http://www.ratemypoo.com/ratemy/poo?image=335 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. Window was open .24 seconds and still I'm scarred for life. -- BS (no, really) |

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.

In my universe, you build your own or go home, kid. -- zk |

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 Tom wrote: Colnago wrote: Thanks so much for sharing, Johnny. "Johnny NoCom" "Johnny wrote in message ... Here is the fastest stock bike in the known universe http://www.wisil.recumbents.com/wisil/misc/nocom.htm 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, Johnny Umm, recumbents suck. End of story. And you can't race them anyway. Tom |

Misconception huh, you make me laugh with your ill informed, ignorant
mind..... Stick with your "Bicycle Wheel" a silly ranting unworthy of publication. Holiday cheers, Johnny wrote: Bill Sornson writes: Here is the fastest stock bike in the known universe http://www.wisil.recumbents.com/wisil/misc/nocom.htm 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. Jobst Brandt |

This is an aesthetic effort, real fast HPV's are fully faired and set world records through a timed gate. 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. -- Dave Larrington - http://www.legslarry.beerdrinkers.co.uk/ World Domination? Just find a world that's into that kind of thing, then chain to the floor and walk up and down on it in high heels. (Mr. Sunshine) |

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 .... BikingBill - Breaker of Frames |

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. |
