Because not all have the same size and some like diffrent handles, seats and so on. For racing bicycles are already a lot rules in place. Shape, geometery, weight. That's why some fancy by bicyles are ok for Triatlon but not for bicycle races.
- beAbU 2y agoThere are certain motor racing categories where things like engines (or even entire cars) are provided by the race organiser and teams are not allowed to make any modifications. Formula A1 comes to mind as an example. These categories are much more focussed on the driver, as the racetrack and cars are all identical. I'm pretty sure that something like this can be brought into cycle racing. Everybody gets the same frame, wheelset, crankset and groupset, and you install your own cockpit (saddle and handlebars).
- _trampeltier 2y agoYes things like tyres does not matter, but even in F1, each driver has his own seat.
