yeah, from what i understand that's what drove obree (sp?) crazy. after the UCI decided that his home-made bike designs weren't track legal and stripped him of his record then implimented the rule that all bikes must have a standard design (after much moaning and *****ing by mercyx), he became a recluse and merycx got his record back. i think bergman's attempt was long after all this went down.
