Edward Thanks so much for your description of this event.I was totally unaware of its existence. This definitely sounds like something I want to put on my list of things to do. You say they check your bike for pre 1980 originality and look at brake cables and pedals.Do they actually check that the frame was constructed during this time frame ? Do the wheels matter ? The number of cogs on the back ? The seat etc.? Just wondering Geoff Duke a long way from Italy in Melbourne Australia
