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 |

I think the bike is going to have to stop to pee pretty often. |

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 |

An artist's (mis)conception no less. I find this difficult to tell from the available photographs. This image gives the best view of the front wheel and chain: http://www.wisil.recumbents.com/wisi...eerer_tube.jpg 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. -- Benjamin Lewis Seeing is deceiving. It's eating that's believing. -- James Thurber |

It appears that it was designed for high speeds, rather than versatility. The whole idea is wacko with a tiller for a steerer and a chainwheel off to one side, far enough to clear the wheel for small angles. This is an aesthetic effort, real fast HPV's are fully faired and set world records through a timed gate. This is neither a competition bicycle for UCI approved events nor is it a fast HPV. It certainly is not a tourer but might interest someone who needs a conversation piece, where it might do for a short time... that is, until the other kids on the block have all seen it.

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... I have some pictures from the Reading BHPC meet, and there is one which seems relevant. Unfortunately it was taken with a very cheap digital camera, so it's a poor picture, but here it is anyway: http://www.chapmancentral.co.uk/web/...s/Mike_Burrows The bike at the top is the Ratracer B, which has a fore-and-aft front fork, giving seriously limited steering travel. Look at the RatRacer below, you'll see that the chain overlaps the front wheel there, too. |
