Oh for sure! ANY World's Championship has been used as the allowance to use the stripes... Multitudinous track events, team,? masters, junior, cyclocross, you name it. Still all valid too!

<< So what entitles a builder to use the rainbow stripes on his frames, participation in the World Championship, or winning a medal? I would have thought the former should suffice, but is there a rule or convention?? >>
The widely accepted convention? dictates ONLY a gold medal?entitles the use of those bands (It's a big deal!), hence my original query!
