I thought any kit used in UCI events (inc. hour record) had to be available for consumers. Surely custom-printed bars is not within that rule?
Well, they are commercially available as long as the printer is prepared to offer the same service to anybody else. The bars (and most of the bike, and the other recent hour bikes) really fall foul of this:
"The use of equipment designed especially for the attainment of a particular performance (record or other) shall be not authorised. "
