Yes, Velociraptor came back to Battle Mountain last year. Broke before it ran, but would not have steered properly if it had run. Years ago Graeme Obree was involved with Tim Elsdales prone bikes. Also with the chassis that became Blueyonder.
There were quite a few prones in the early days. Allan Abbot comes to mind. Even built one myself.

Hi JDub, I understand the aerodynamic thinking behind his design. Decreasing width front to rear, shoulders,hips and feet,being easier to enclose in an aero shell.
I'm suprised he didn't go for a laid back design knowing he was involved with BlueYonder.
I tried to get a better look at his design, can anyone confirm linear pedal action?
He claims in other interviews that his "motor" is up to the job. Surely put him in a Varna! I'd like to think he could take the record. I'm worried that he may try to take it at the first attempt and not reach his goal. However I do wish Mr Obree every success.
All the Best.
