  • 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 ..

  • 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...

  • Got it. That was the explanation I was looking for. I'd love a long and low Spesh Roubaix. How much do lawyers charge?

  • Hang on, don't loads of the teams sell their bikes on eBay at the end of each season?
