I called and ask them if I could pickup my package today since they were not going to deliver it until tomorrow. The guy on the phone said sure, no problem. So I requested it be held at the local Center for me to pickup. After he made the change, he told me it would be ready for pickup for pickup tomorrow after 5pm. What! I said now way, just have it delivered to the original home address. So sorry, once it has been tagged to hold, it can not be undone. Go F#@$ yourself FedEx. I will never ever use FedEx again. And some dumbass politicians want to replace the USPS with these money hungry idiots, no way. End of pissed off rant! Oh yeah, I forgot. My package sat 98 miles from here for 16 hours before it was shipped out for Ft. Worth. Two day delivery has turned into 5 day delivery! A$@wipes! Now end of rant for real. You bought it from Warren in Chicago? If it's the same one I saw him on 6 years ago you will have quite a time learning how to use the "machine gun" steering wheel he added Yes, bought it from Warren. It came with two different handle bars, the gunners you mentioned and regular tiller bars. I think getting it to fit me will be harder than learning to get use to he gunners. I had to get 150 mm cranks from Jay and cut several inches off the boom and front end. I will have to repair the front by reinforcing with some carbon fiber cloth and epoxy. I might put the tiller on for now. If I can perform with it anywhere near how Warren did with it, I'll be a happy old man. I would seriously get rid of the gunners and switch to more the conventional tiller, much easier learning curve The Nocom is a no-nonsense racer not designed for regular roads, I was amazed Warren and some of the other guys brought theirs to ride around Wisconsin, funny thing was I was faster than everyone except Warren, he was a beast on his I had gunners on two of my bikes. If you just barely move your hand, you will move quite quickly. I have a set of tillers sent with the bike. For riding on the roads I will use the tiller. I'll use the gunners just for racing which should not be more than 3-4 times a year. I don't know how long it will take to adapt to the NoCom, but I bought it to break the Masters 200 M sprint and kilo. The sprint and kilo record is held by Phil Phlatt on a Morciglio M1. He was around 51, I am just a few years older, 14! I was within a little less than 2 mph from the record last year on the Baron. I would run out of gearing around the 140-150 meter mark. I needed a 56t chain ring instead of a 53t. Maybe even a 58t. Headed to Alexandria, LA to the bike shop for a Shimano chain pin to re-connect the chain. !40 miles round trip. I am going crazy not being able to ride the bike yet. It has stormed every day since I bought it. It is flooding all over over here in Louisiana.
