Catching up on threads.

The new bike comes with a price tag on the UKSI website but public sales are not really the intention. Instead, it's to comply with the UCI requirement that any Olympic equipment be commercially available by January 1 of the year of the Games. Waiting lists on Team GB equipment have in the past been, let's say, very lengthy indeed.

I understand these prices often drop considerably once the Olympics are out of the way.  I saw another similar piece about some new bikes the Australian team are going to be using on the track...
