What is this Velocraft NoCom?

[Kurt Richter]

What is this Velokraft NoCom? I was going to buy a trike but after reading this post I decided to hold off and buy a fast machine. Does anyone have any photos or links?

Personally I think it's ugly and not something you would want to ride day to
day, if I had a choice I'd rather have this

I think it's rather pretty, in an H.R. Giger, Ridley Scott Alien sort
of way. :-)

Kurt,
I guess it really depends on what type of riding you're planning to
perform. My understanding (based on no first hand experience, so take
it with a grain of salt!), is that the NoCom is great for high-speed
racing on smooth surfaces. If you're interested from a touring or
commuting perspective, it may not be your best option, due to limited
ground clearance and cargo capacity.

Oh, yeah...and I imagine a NoCom is rather pricey, even compared to
many trikes on the market. ;->

Best,

Dan

[Kurt Richter]

Thank you Dan. The Velokraft NoCom is one beautiful looking recumbent. I will contact the Velokraft dealer. I like the fast looking low style. I am glad I decided not to but a trike.

For NoCom dealer list, visit <http://www.velokraft.com/dealers.htm>.
There's one in the US, one in Canada, and a couple in Europe, IIRC.

All the obese slobs at A.R.B.R. will never fit on a NoCom. They keep dreaming about riding fast with bike trail dork recumbents.

Those slow ugly 3 wheeler, EZ1 or Baron rip-off will never go fast and have no style. Fast riders and racers prefer a NoCom the Fastest Stock Bike in the Universe.

Aaaah, silly me. And here I thought I was being helpful...

Well, my lesson has been learned. I now have no option but to become a
bitter, reclusive, lurker of a hermit. (Oh, wait...I was already doing
that.)

Thanks for the info,

Dan

[Johnny Sr.]

Joao,
Once again you blame someone who has nothing to do with Johnny NoCom Enterprises. Too many judo throws with you landing on your head I suppose. Must be difficult riding around NY with brain disfunction.

Go ride your condom bike you dumb ass. You make a **** poor detective. Better yet go back to Brazil and take your slow bubble bike with you. Condom bikes belong in the 3rd world and not in the good ol USA.

I think it's esthetics are beautful like Allen Jones sculptures and the
derivatives by Liz Moore's props in A Clockwork Orange. The NoCom is truly
form follows function.

Joao, you have performed a valuable service here on ARBR. If what you say is
true, then Ed Gin is nothing but a ****ing ******* - pure and simple. Screw
him all the way to hell and back! I mean God Damn him anyway! I was willing
to cut him some slack provided he stayed on his own ****ing threads. But
when he posts on other threads having nothing to do with his God Damn NoCom
(whatever the hell that is), then I say **** him!

Ed Gin is an asshole and a **** head. Can you believe this moron is 57 years
of age. Jim McNamara is 100% right about him as far as I am concerned. He
needs to get his own web site and not be interfering with the threads on
ARBR that have nothing to do with him and his God Damn NoCom.

I will be interested to hear what Mr. Sherman has to say about these latest
outrages.

Just stay on your own ****ing thread and don't be bothering the rest of us

Ed,

I believe he is 59 ... soon to be 60 years of age if he hasn't already
turned 60 taht is. Can you believe that anyone of this vintage can
behave so much younger than his age. What a juvenile.

Zipp 300 Carbon Cranks are the Fastest Cranks in the Known Uninverse. Only 397 grams with rings. These are the cranks that will make your bike fast but not as fast as a NoCom.

Warning if you are a fat slob or cheap ******* do not bother buying Zipp 300 Carbon Cranks. They are expensive, worth every penny and are reserved for the best of the best.

Hayes El Camino Disc Brakes Fastest disc brakes in the Universe

The El Camino features Power Adjust Dial, which modulates braking power by +/-10%. The Mono-Block caliper is forged using 6061-T6 aluminum while the open back design allows improved airflow across the pads. If you are a fat old ignorant white man from Minn do not buy these brakes. Nothing will stop your sorry ass when you need to stop.

The rotating banjo hose attachment offers optimal hose placement. Perfect for all the hose heads on A.R.B.R.

Though I note that the record on the Land's End to John O'Groats run is
held on a recumbent trike (a fully faired Windcheetah). How can that
be, if you can't go fast on a trike? ;-)

While not making any statement as to whether or not Ed Gin is Johnny
NoCom, it should be noted that Ed Gin used to own a Windcheetah
"Speedy". In fact, a review of the trike by Ed Gin was published in RCN
# 46 (July/Aug 1998), pages 24-27. As I understand it, Ed converted to
lowracers because they are faster.

WARNING this helmet will not fit the head of fat old white honkey bigots from Minn. Those idiots have heads too big for any helmet. Only fast racers who ride deserve this helmet.
