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.

Sorry, Jobst, but you're behind the times. Human-powered vehicle racing
organizations now recognize several classes of vehicles, divided by
amount of aerodynamic fairing. The NoCom does not have any purely
aerodynamic devices attached to it, so it fits into the HPRA "Stock"
class:
http://www.recumbents.com/hpra/default.htm
It also fits into the WRRA "Unfaired" class:
http://www.recumbents.com/wrra/rules.htm
I believe that the IHPVA may start using these classifications in order
to allow a greater variety of vehicles to compete. Fully-faired
vehicles are neat- but competitive fully-faired vehicles require a huge
commitment in time and/or money.

I've ridden lowracers similar to the NoCom. (Not as low, though.) While
not suitable for high-traffic areas, they're quite capable on the open
road.

Jobst,

What do you know about the chain on the worlds fastest stock bike. You
do not own or ride one. You have one of those slow ass hatchet
hemorrhoid, stick up the ass conventional bicycle things.

No artist conception. Its the real deal and faster than any UCI crap

http://www.wisil.recumbents.com/wisil/misc/nocom.htm

The only thing "conventional" is your brain Jobst. You're in serious
need of an overhaul. Spend some time off your "love post" and get with
the program. Parke Davis and Co. must love you. Preparation H is on
sale at overstock.com.

Holiday Cheers,
Johnny NoCom

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,

I have ridden several lowracers that run the chain by the front wheel
(in fact, my regular bicycle can be set up this way). The most difficult
part is starting out, as large steering corrections will cause
chain/wheel interference. Tight U-turns are also not possible. However,
once speeds in excess of about 10-mph/15-kph are achieved, chain/wheel
interference is no longer an issue, and such a lowracer can turn as
sharply as a compact car, so riding on the streets is no problem.

I happen to know several people who have carbon fiber composite
lowracers with the chainline running adjacent to the front wheel, and
they ride these bikes thousands of miles per year on public roads.

Mr. Leuck,

I suggest fewer indefinite pronouns and more end punctuation.

No, the no-com can not be HPRA stock class. The front splitter plate is
in effect a small front fairing which modifies the airflow around the
rider. A rear splitter that is part of the frame or aerodynamic features
below the rider are OK. The small front splitter/fairing puts the no-com
in the super-stock class (front fairings allowed).

From the WISIL website: [1]

HPRA Racing Classes

STOCK - Vehicles in this class may have any number of wheels.
Vehicle/frame design may not incorporate any form of fairing which is
not an integral part of the frame. Specifically, brazed on, welded
on, or epoxied on integral parts of the frame which do not divert
airflow around the rider are allowed. Wheel discs/covers are allowed.
Supplied number plates do not constitute a fairing. Rider is male or
female of any age.

How this is interpreted could be a matter of contention. Would a
monocoque streamliner be considered "Stock Class", since the fairing
shell is also the frame?

Interesting. In close to 30 years of cycling, I've never had a roid problem
from cycling and don't know of anyone who has. The only cyclist I've known
to get roids from their machines have been recumbent riders.
