What is this Velocraft NoCom?

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?

Glenn Drury racing a Velokraft NoCom lowracer. What is amazing is Mr. Drury was riding a stock bike

with no fairings. He finished the 400 km race a twitch short of 2 hours less than the regular cyclists team.

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

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.

Testing how to quote through Google Groups.

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.

that Kurt Richter, Ian Smythe, Stan Vinson, Capt. Graybeard, UltraJoe,
Klaus Reinhart, Dilbert Clark, and all those alias asking about the
nocom are all the same person. That's Ed Gin, a.k.a. "Johnny Nocom".
Ed is one of the co-designers of the nocom, so you can do the math of
what his motives for acting this way may be.

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
