(Or, I guess, vintage-style bikes, as I doubt anyone would risk an antique.)
I don't expect those safety concerns to stop anyone, of course, I'm merely curious.
- eCa 4y agoIf the bike has been cared for, I don’t think age should be a problem. At the Eroica mentioned elsewhere in this thread, people have taken part with bikes a hundred years old[1]. [1] https://eroica.cc/en/eroica-cc/ethos https://eroica.cc/en/eroica-cc/ethos

And building an antique-style bike according to strict rules is probably well within the budget of plenty of people. [1] is what inspired this. No derailleur. You have to carry your own spare parts. No assistance from anyone. Replicating the road conditions might be tough, but there are parts of back country US that might suffice. [1] https://qr.ae/pv4Qo3 https://qr.ae/pv4Qo3
