Distinguishing features
This is a hand-built Velokraft NoCom model 1, one of the first few shipped to the United States. The name Jenny NoCom is on the nose of the bike in pink lettering beneath clearcoat. It has a narrow front fork with narrowed hub front wheel and in back, a 700C Renn disc wheel with a custom-built adapter for the brake rotor. The front end of the bike has no proper boom, but the bottom bracket is instead held in place in a plate system. There is a derailleur hanger bolted into the drive side to accommodate the front derailleur. It uses a Truvativ triple crankset on a very wide downhiller bottom bracket in order to get clearance for the 3 front gears and the derailleur. The seat has an oval hole in it for access to internal cabling and storage.
