"The world's first carbon fibre monocoque bicycle must have looked almost space age to cyclists in the mid 1980s.
It was designed and built in 1985 by Mike Burrows.
He went on to use the same technology to build a machine that Chris Boardman rode to success in the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games.
The innovation was in the use of a new material, carbon fibre that could be impregnated with resin and moulded into a strong aerodynamic shape, ideal for track racing."
