The short answer is "no" Will, if Alan or anybody else managed to do it without resorting to space shuttle technology or budgets. You didn't find the same complaints being raised when Bob Heath and Bill Swallow were setting the races alight, because the bikes they were using were by and large what anybody with a bit of care and talent could produce in their shed.

It's a big "IF" though.
