European HPV Championships 1993 in Farum, Denmark.
An unusually well- executed homebuilt LWB bike with a complete fairing seen in Farum (buider a German, name sadly forgotten). I dare say a fairing that's fairly[sic!] cheap to build as well. It is held up by a specially curved aluminum skeleton attached to the bike frame. The transparent body is made of a single 1 mm (or perhaps even less) sheet of polycarbonate (trade name Lexan, among others), which has been stretched over the supports and Pop- riveted in place. Polycarbonate is a polymer with extremely- long and stable molecular chains, which make it practically unbreakable. It is also rigid enough for that kind of enclosures. | ||||||
