"The first attempt didn’t lead to a record-breaking time, so Theo Bos immediately offered the jury a second attempt, which he completed with a time of 9.772 seconds. The old world record had been held for eleven years by Canadian Curt Harnett (9.865) and was set at the high-altitude velodrome in Bogota. The Moscow track is at sea level. This is highly significant, particularly as in Moscow Bos was not yet riding his new bike, developed for him by Koga and built for him by the Royal Netherlands Cycle Union (KNWU)." Bos Record
So the record was set on the Aussie bike but the black one is his new Koga one?
