Hi Folks, I've searched the archives and Google, but have found little to answer my questions on allowed bike set-up for L'Eroica. I have a customer that wants me to set up a new lugged, KOF Gios Torino so that it would be L'Eroica compatible. I am having trouble finding out what exactly is permissible for drive trains/shifers. Is there any limits on the numbers of cogs? I know modern indexing Brifters are a no-no, but what about indexing DT shifters? ie. Could you run current 10 spd Shimano DT shifters and compatiable derailleurs? Are modern indexing bar end shifters also a no-no? ie. 10spd Campy. How about modern bar end shifters run in friction mode? ie. an 8 spd Shimano set-up.
I can certainly set the bike up with vintage parts, but the customer would like to keep the bike as modern as possible, while still conforming to the rules.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
John
