Great site for "hour hopefuls"
I've been a bit obsessed with the "hour" since I was a Rominger fan.
Anyway, this page has just about every technical detail concerning every successful record attempt:

I know Boardman is only 5 foot 9, and Rominger is about 5 foot 8, but in light of all this crank length talk, it's interesting that the four best efforts were done using 170mm and 172.5mm cranks.
Indurains effort wasn't quite as good, and he was on the 190s. Dunno what this means -- I just love crapping on about it
and note that Rominger's Colnago was a steel bike!!
