Highly doubtful. Too bad "Johnny NoCom" is retired. -- Tom Sherman - Fox River Valley |

Highly doubtful. Too bad "Johnny NoCom" is retired. -- Tom Sherman - Fox River Valley 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. |

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. |
