Yours truly, in the 2016 Tour des Trees, riding for my company team on a 1976 Bridgestone with 27’s. (UltraSport IIs)
I was a last-minute fill-in, at the time, a marathon runner, MTBer and terrain racer, but I did have a “road bike”.
While the old steed was remarkably competent carrying on 100 mile days on bad roads, the 2x6 was a bit of a handful in the mountains of western NC.
I got invited back in subsequent years, but rode it on a rented Cannondale Synapse.
