I have made queries with bottomless credit cards. You cannot buy them. Small tweaks and literally one off (Wiggo's hour record) are fine but when you can supply whole teams why not sell them? Puzzles me ..

Because nobody but you thinks of buying them?

You're card is not bottomless enough and you're likely not speaking to the right people. I'm sure they are available to buy - appearing in a catalogue or whatever documentation they might think is required for the UCI. More likely they just don't give a shit and will only do something if/when the UCI ever took them to task over it.
Wiggo's bars are even more UCI-illegal because they breach a separate rule that says bikes/parts designed specifically to attain a record are not permitted. That's forgetting the fact his bike isn't available to the public according to their other rule.
They might not supply them to the whole team - Boonen and Sagan were likely special cases. Either way, unless you're a lawyer or someone from another team claiming unfair advantage the companies, teams, UCI are not going to give a shit about how gold/platinum your credit card is...

You're failing to see the point. The companies can make whatever the hell they want and then if anyone queries it they will 'make them available to the public' for some silly price and rules (kind of) remain adhered to.
They've always had custom bikes for the classics - bigger clearances, different suspension tricks and non-replaceable derailler hangers and stuff like that.
