And even when the original rules and concept is tweaked to accommodate people- then there's people that need to covertly try to sneak in modern stuff...
Just moved an ‘86 Miyata 710, came with aero brake levers, it would “pass” for Eroica, but If I were going to play, I’d run something more in the spirit. Aero’s at Eroica is like going to the Renn Fair in a poet shirt, jeans, and a sword. If you’re going to do it, put a LITTLE effort into it! 😆😆😆
