There are always plenty of grey areas when it comes to BC!
However custom parts are allowed, as long as a consumer could buy the same. I know a few nations will be using these:

That's another one that the UCI willfully ignore. Pretty much everyone that's set an Hour Record since the rule change has used bespoke kit. Wiggo had custom printed ti bars. Yet, the UCI rules specifically prevent this.

How does that work with custom designed / personally-fitted 3D printed parts? Another thing on display at the AE show were some highly polished very thin wall 3D printed titanium sprinter bars used by Chris Hoy. And a set of tri bars and extensions in the same material, used by another top Team GB athlete in competition. Do they just have to make them available, technically, for anyone to buy?
