Found these little clips and will now share a couple with you.

Can anyone guess (or calculate) many watts it took him to produce 35MPH for an hour?
wish his bikes were available for purchase w/US distributor (not wiggle).

And the funny thing is their were threads on here the day after Kona talking about
“Could of Pete Jacobs done better if he rode a better bike?”
He rode a Boardman. Pretty solid bike maker and bike for that matter
Great vid. Thanks for posting

That science of Mr Burrows is why this has been my dream bike since 96. In 2005 I was finally able to get my hands on one that fit and had a buddy machine a new seat post cap for a steeper st angle than the original. It may not be the most aerodynamic but it is fast enough for me and I can always find it in the transition area. IMO this and the Zipp 2001/3001 have been the best looking bikes I have ever seen in person. The new superbikes are cool but do not have the shapes that the outlawed bikes do. I am sure this bike will eventually be replaced but it will always be the one that I will compare all others to.

I think the data is out there somewhere. I believe it was around 6.2-6.4 w/kg, but will be happy to be corrected.
the top of the power chart for 5 & 60’ was pegged to Boardman’s performance.
