I got a hard-on for the Velokraft NoCom.

So do you.

C'mon, you know you want one.

I do! I really really do!!

Here's one of the originals.

Do you own one? What does it ride like? How the hell do you spend that kind of money on a bike without trying one first?

If you don't control yourself you may find that your "tiller" obstructs turns.
Well, you'd have a prominent place to mount a flag, anyway.

No, I took the picture at the Hostel Shoppe Rally in 2004. There were two in attendance.

What does the view from the cockpit look like on one of those? Does it have a lot of dial and altitude indicators like an F16? Does it carry any payload of bombs? Does the US military have fleet of NoComs to deploy on secret missions? How does a parachute fit on it.

Altitude indicators? Everyone knows that when attacking the Death Star you don't need altitude indicators for anything. You're in space, doofus. Proton torpedo status is much more important. How are you supposed to hit the thermal exhaust duct, thus causing a chain reaction, and destroying the battlestation?

What kind of idiot are you?

Gee, Mooks, I don't really know. I didn't ask to sit on one and besides that, I'm sure I'd be too short to look over the tiller anyway.

There is a couple of owners of them over at bentrideronline.com do a search there if you want to know how much you really want one.
Yes I want one to.

Can a NoCom cruise at 75 miles per hour down mountain switchbacks like my non cockpit steel ReBike?

Mooky

Awwww... you just need the love of a good woman. Really.

Got one already. Now the love of TWO good women... hmm...

That's what the blow up doll you've got hidden in the attic is for. So if you're so hot for the bike, it must be time for another visit to the valley of the dolls.

My favorite thing to say to myself as I enter high density traffic is, "I am a leaf on the wind, watch me soar."

Actually, the NoCom is manufactured using some sort of inflatible bladder system (that I don't understand) to mold the carbon fiber before it is cured in an oven. So it is kind of a blow-up doll thru osmosis.

BTW- You're confusing the blow-up dolls in my attic with the dead hipster kiddies in my basement. But that's probably the subject of a different post.
