Once I posted the link I, too was unable to access the site again.

I’ll do my best to describe the bike: Looks like a Cheetah frame (ridden at various times by Badman & Bowden), and the participant number was either 24 (Sibbersen) or 29 (Leumann of Switzerland). I tend to think that it was probably the latter.

The remarkable thing on this bike: The entire front end was a big “Y” shape, devoid of a standard stem and aerobar setup.

I simply cannot remember seeing something in the past that resembles this setup. Can anyone help with photos and/or explanation?

Thanks in advance.

You’ve described the standard fork/bar set-up that comes with the Cheetah. See:

Cheetah. Same one that Bowden and Badmann ride. Different handlebars.
