Subject: Where is this lowracer
A year or so ago I saw pictures and an article about a carbon fiber low
racer that had to be the most amazing looking 'bent I had ever seen.

I believe it was made on the continent and I thought the Wisil club had
references to it but I can NOT find this machine now.

Does anyone have a link to a machine that fits this description?

Your help will be appreciated.

Lewis.

Thanks for the help, guys, it was the Velokraft NoCom.

I almost drool when I look at that machine. :-)

Kind regards.

Lewis.

Either the M5 Carbon Lowracer or the Velokraft Nocom would fit the
description. The Velokraft VK2 isn't exactly plain either...

The M5 "Low Racer Carbon" is one, costs $5000+ USD for the basic model
if I remember right:

http://www.m5-ligfietsen.com/main.php?sNewPage=Low_Racer_Carbon

there's at least one other too, someplace else makes. I forget the name
at the moment.

Well okay maybe not $5000 USD, this page says around $4000:

I know there's not a lot of single-rider bikes that cost more than it
does......
