Thanks for the explanation Bill. Sorry for the late-night typos.Your stable is
envy-inducing.

Paul asked: "Question: Is this bike taller then you usual?" in reference
to my Univega.
I guess that depends on what you mean by "taller" and what you mean by
"usual". I have six vintage level top tube road bikes in my stable, and I
would not consider the Univega "taller" than the other
Your bike profile pic is as classic-looking as all get out Bill. Very
tasty. Question: Is this bike taller then you usual? (I'm trying to recall
all those...)
If my bro-in-law still lived on the West Coast, I'd consider doing that
ride, since I have read about it for quite a long time.

That doesn't sound right. Aside from the fact that all the information
about the California events except the 2024 front banner is dated from the
2023 event or even earlier - site consistency is not this organization's
strong suit - the bike descriptions you offer sound like the ones for the

According to the website, Eroica California is open to all road racing,
cyclocross and gravel bicycles with carbon, steel, titanium and aluminum
frames.
The only requirement left over from prior years appears to be that the bike
must have drop handlebars.

On Wednesday,
I rode it on my Eisentraut with period appropriate Campy Nuovo Record and
30mm tubular tires. As I recall, they allow newer lugged steel bikes, and I
definitely saw a few Rivs. There were several folks from this list and
I-BOB. There's a bike expo and Concours for people to show off their
If I decide to gear way lower, I'll swap over a vintage compact double. I
have a Sugino AT triple converted to Guard/46/30.

Bill,
I also have a brown Gran Premio! I especially like the Suntour symmetric
shifters. Univega was the brand sold in my childhood bike store, so when I
saw mine in a used bike shop, I had to have it. They'll always have a soft
spot in my heart. If I were to ride mine in the CA Eroica, I think
I've got the bike for it, and I'm just waiting for the stars to align to do
the ride. My "Eroica Bike" is a time capsule 1983 Univega Gran Premio.
I've got ~700 miles on it, and will not have any issue using it for an
Eroica day.
I certainly won't be riding Eroica, but I am very interested in hearing
more from RBW-listers who will be, and to hearing about and seeing pictures
of the bikes they plan to ride in the event, doubtless Rivendell KOF bikes.
I'm certainly not a vintage enthusiast as exhibited on the CR list, but I
I'm also curious about this. I tried sending an email to the contact on the
webpage (*i...@eroicacalifornia.com)*, but I got a message back saying the
address couldn't be found or was unable to receive mail.

Speaking only as a part-time RBW Saturday Guy, I just want to point

While I understand the rules and thinking behind these Eroica events, it
would sure be fun to ride these rides on my Roadeo with low gears and some
good tires.

I saw at least a couple of Riv's at last year's Eroica. I rode my
Eisentraut rather than putting vintage components on my Riv. I know some
other listers also left Rivs at home to ride vintage bikes.
