    Was reading in Cycling Weekly about the new UCI ruling that all bikes manufactured from 2011 onwards must have a UCI approved stamp on them to be able to use in races (I assume just UCI races not local ones), will that mean that 2012 Ras bikes that are bought from now on must have this stamp going forward? Obviously if you have a frame from last year then its ok but say you bought a frame from some small manufacture or a cheap Chinese import, would you be excluded?
    The magazine called it a UCI tax on bikes.
