Graeme is going for the indoor record again in late 2009 on a bicycle he built with a slightly longer frame. All forms of aero bars, disc wheels, etc. have been outlawed by the UCI, so this longer bike will allow him to have a slightly forward, more aerodynamic posture. I hope he breaks the indoor one hour record, now standing at 30.7 miles. Eddy Mercx, who won the Tour five times, claimed that the indoor attempt was his hardest ride. GO GRAEME, WE LOVE YOU!
