I agree, it is gaming the system. But the system leaves itself open to just this, so it doesn't make it 'cheating'. It's the old 'spirit of the rule' vs 'letter of the law'.
As for moulded to Wiggins arms…well, sell a couple of bikes with the handlebars exactly the same as Wiggins needs and it's 'commercially available'.

If the rules say the bike has to be commercially available and only 2 or 3 are produced and sold, then to my mind that is gaming the system.
