Early naughties? I thought they were banned before that.
Yeah, a few people were using them in bunch races at Herne Hill, whenever it was they were fashionable, '95 or '96. Got round the rules by dint of not extending beyond the furthest point of the handlebars iirc. I always thought them a bit lame tbh, and to use them in a local track league even more so.
There's certainly no problem using them in solo events, but as they're just a half arsed tri-bar why not just use real ones?
