The event, course, people and food were tons of fun. I rode my '71 Raleigh
International, updated with silver shifters, silver dual-pivot brakes, and
modern 10 Campy record hubs (with free hub body). The hubs were laced to 32
hole silver Pacenti PL23 700c box rims, and therefore looked somewhat
They left the option open for vintage style bikes provided you have the correct
shifters and brake levers. I didn't see any rivs, but I rode my stag and I saw
a San Marcos and a stanyan.

Sorry, my mistake. I received an e-mail today from Eroica and assumed the

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the link. I've visited the Eroica CA site many times, but I
don't see the exact dates for the 2016 ride. If you see them, could you
post them, or direct me to the exact site page that shows them? Thanks.

Thanks Peter. Very helpful.
i) there are no particular rules on the type of brakes as long as they
are in line with the construction period of the bicycle and that they are
efficient for safety reasons.
Although this is somewhat vague. I think, but am not sure upon reading a
couple times,
That appears to be confirmed by a post from Joel Flood on Hanford's
Facebook page:
Hanford #1 will be at the Eroica California

If you'll recall, I engaged Wes on the CR list on exactly this point; he
said that racks (at least racks of the luggage-toting variety) were a
no-no. Now, there are racks and there are *racks*. There's photographic
evidence of a number of TA and Sologne centerpull-mounted handlebar bag
racks,

Precious to me anyway suggests Tweed Rides.
Given the sparse history of the sport of road racing as a sport in the US,
L'Eroica California arguably nudges toward Tweed.

My Pashley Guvnor would have been perfect for this event. However, this is a
PBP year, which means a lot of other events (brevets) that I need to do. In the
interest of household harmony, I decided to pass on L'Eroica this year.

I really didn't see (nor recall reading in their web postings!) any
hard-lining by Eroica California organizers, and in fact I feel Wes
went out of his way to attract a broadly diverse, common-interest
field to the party.
Thanks, Jim. That is enlightening.

No, it has to do with developments in racing bike technology. The
Classics Rendezvous list cut-off is '83, which is the year before Look
introduced clipless pedals. By 1987 carbon frames became more common, but
I'm not sure that's the exact trigger.
My road bike is a custom Tom Kellogg
So you couldn't bring your Rivnendell, if the cutoff is '87. Rivendell was
not founded until 1994.

'84 was also the introduction of Shimano SIS, so '83 cutoff is a good
year. A lot of changes happened between '83 and '87!

Now I'm kicking myself for selling my '85 Bertoni Corsa Mondiale in
