Re: The fastest stock bike in the world. Get yours now!!!

I briefly 'campaigned' a Festina Extra Low Racer with the same sort of
setup in regards to the chain and front wheel.

It was fine on the track, and on the road you learned how to deal with
it ... mainly by coasting thru sharp turns. I even took it up and down
Torry Pines ... taking the full car lane at the posted speed limit of
50mph on descent. At 7.5" seat height it was an experience I won't
forget.

Interestingly enough I found the ZOX 26 Z-Frame (lowracer style with
dual 26" wheels) to be faster ... which begs the question if a dual
650c lowracer suitably designed would be faster than the nocom. I
suspect that the size of the rider plays a role in that.

It would also be fun to do some roll-down comparisons between the Nocom
and the M5 Carbon Lowracer.

As always, I am available for destructive testing ....
