Terrible mistake, L'Eroica edition

Apparently a L'Eroica bike is any pre-1987, steel frame road bike with downtube shifters, and without clipless pedals or aero levers. (Some clubs now allow aero.)

And here I thought it was an old ten speed that someone is asking $2800 for on Marketplace. But no! ​​​​​It turns out every bike in my garage is a L'Eroica bike! ("Yes, this is a true classic, the Schwini Giro di Chicagua...")

Or they would be, had I not installed dual pivot calipers on every one of them, thereby destroying $2700 or so in market value of each. Whoops! 😬
