One thing to clear up on this topic that has nothing to do with the bike.
Not to diminish Mount's international racing success, but he did not "medal"
at the 1976 Olympics. I seem to recall that he was 4th at best or 6th,
either way a very creditable showing, but no medal. The road race was won by
Johansson, Sweden; 2nd Martinelli, Italy; and 3rd Nowicki, Poland.
