I must be old, because I still recall when the original Arione was debuted in the Tour, and the extra long nose was a big deal and borderline illegal, as it gave extra positions...
And, although just a bit before I got too deep into bikes, there was a version of the
San Marco Concor (Sprint) saddle with a raised back that became illegal...
And now...
