Geoff, Good question, but I don't really have a good answer. The people who run this event are pretty cool. They give the bike a once over especially for downtube shifters and clips and straps but the do look the bike over checking for external cables. Not much else, so I don't really see that they try to establish the actual date. I think they are leaving that to trust. Anyway the prized aren't of any consequence so I duoubt anyone bothers. In the end the only one who cares that you finished on a vintage is you.
