What a man & great video. Really enjoyable.
Wish they could have tried Old Faithful with modern skinsuit, helmet, etc just to see where you could get to now. Although I suppose skinsuit designed to gain benefit with the modern arms position.
Athlete and a Genius!
Live near Irvine these days, seen him on the roads occasionally, he's very quick even when cruising... Utter legend. Back in the '90s I raced in the same races as both him and Boardman, both nice blokes, and both complete machines. We were blessed to have them both.
Mutz Nutz!
As the guy says, modern kit with his 'old faithful' body position would wipe the floor, even with the old bike/bog std cycling kit he was still 30 watts up on the modern bike+kit.
The guy was revolutionary, modern day engineers are only evolutionary, massive difference and shows how much kudos Obree should receive and is underplayed IMHO.
From this Boardman's 1 hour record should still stand as the absolute hour record/UCI record as the position he used was inferior aerodynamically to modern kit not to mention inferior components/tyres!
Enjoyed that a lot, top fella is Obree.
What a hero. Great video
Love that guy!
Genius and Athlete. Mega!
Legend!
