The Cycling World Hour Record is the most famous record in cycling, from 1893 to 2000 the best cyclists in the World have held the hour record including legends like Fausto Coppi or Eddy Merckx. In all these years the hour record has seen innovative equipment. But on september 9th 2000, the UCI (Union Cycliste [...]
After a rather disappointing Tour de France (no stage win) and a bronze medal in the individual TT at the Atlanta Olympics Boardman showed up at the World Track Championships in Manchester in brilliant shape. He improved the 4000 m pursuit record from 4:19 to 4:13 and finally to 4:11.114, beating olympic champion Andrea Collinelli. [...]
After a disappointing Tour de France with serious problems Rominger showed an increasing form in autumn, winning some big Time-Trials. In october he started preparations for his attack on the hour record. His first test riding on the track ended with a crash, because he had no experience riding a fixed gear bike. But after [...]
When Miguel Indurain announced to attack the hour record, the magazines predicted a sensational mark of 55 or 56 km/h. But some experts were more cautious, because Indurain’s aerodynamic position on the bike was very poor – his head is very high in the air, always well above his shoulders. But in the road time-trials [...]
After winning the world championships (4000 m individual pursuit with a world record time of 4’20.9“), there were rumours that Obree would attack the hour record again. Doing some tests in the winter, he made a serious attempt on 27.4.1994. He made almost no changes to his material. (Almost the same bike he used in [...]
The Invention After Graeme Obree was banned by the UCI at the world championships 1994 under mysteriuous circumstances, his fans wondered if he would come back. And he came back, presenting another new position: This time he used common equipment: A normal bike, a very long stem (Look Ergostem) and a Profile Aerobar (extended to [...]
In 1993 the hour record was broken by Graeme Obree, an relatively unknown rider, at least outside Great Britain. In the past years the hour record had been attacked by well known road racing stars. Even more surprising was his „home made“ bicycle and his position on this bike. His unique, compact riding position allowed [...]
Graeme Obree could enjoy his record only one week. The olympic champion from 1992, Chris Boardman, was the first man to break the 52 km/h barrier. He used a more or less „standard“ Corima bike with trispoke wheels. Another „fast start, then slowing down“ attempt. Starting with almost 52.6 km/h, he slowed down more and [...]
„Unknown rider breaks Moser’s record“ was the headline in german newspapers. Outside Great Britain Graeme Obree was really almost unknown. But that changed when he improved the legendary mark of Francesco Moser. Maybe even more sensational was his selfmade bike and his extremely aerodynamic position. Research showed that with this position one could ride 1-2 [...]
The first man beyond 50 km/h Francesco Moser was the first man to break the 50 km/h barrier. Eddy Merckx, the last rider with a „normal“ bike, clocked 49.431 km in 1972. Moser used disc-wheels and a bullhorn-bar. This would become the standard time-trial equipment in the next years. I show his second attempt, where [...]

Obree was intent on reclaiming the title he won twice in the 1990s later this month. But the 44-year-old came unstuck when his psychologist warned his mental health was [...]
