These events are all over Italy these days. We're putting together a couple of bici d'epoca ourselves to take part in the future. A pre '87 Bianchi and a newer, but still in the spirit (Columbus SLX, lugged construction, downtube shifter bosses, etc.) TOMI will be our mounts. We'll NOT go whole-hog on the vintage parts for the exact reason Fia Mao posted - 8-speed era triple groupsets controlled by downtube shifters and brakes with exposed cables are enough!

Geez, those hills make my knees hurt just watching! There is no way on God's Green Earth I could get up those without my leg falling off
