aimed at removing the perceived barrier to entry where people new to the sport think you need a £10k spaceship to take part!

So you only need a £9k drop-bar spaceship, plus another grand for deeper wheels in events using your 90mm rule to complement the 62-65mm stock wheels which are good for events running to CTT road bike rules 🙂

I don’t think the onus is really on the organiser. The whole idea of TTs is trying to beat the clock / yourself. That’s certainly the attitude I’ve always taken.

Competition by definition has a winner, it’s difficult if not impossible to really level the playing field.

In terms of what a qualifying "road bike" is, it's entirely down to the organiser. There is no national regulation. I'm all for people running 90mm rims and long-sleeved trip suits on their drop-bar spaceships, but not everybody agrees.
