Cool! Pretty neat use of 3D printing IMHO.

I wonder how much these would set me back...... :)

Wiggo is gonna crush it in the hour.

3d printed bars, seems logical, not much different than some custom CNC bars.

I gotta admit, I like the guy - he did it the hard way in the sport. Dude was on unibet back in the day.

I like him too. He did what he wanted(TdF) and then said..'BTDT', adios.

Wonder if he's gonna shave for the attempt. Beard is pretty draggy..and hot, I would think.

Another vote for liking Wiggo. Yeah, he can be prickly but he seems like a straight shooter, no BS guy. Follows his own path. Hope he crushes the hour.

I thought you had to use equipment that is available to the general public or sold commercially? Anything goes now with the new rules?
