Scottish version of L'Eroica - now The Bravo Scozia Ride

Re: Scottish version of L'Eroica - Heroica Scozia

Better get my '58 Mercian Super Vigorelli back together again then. Looks like the month of June is going to be a press, what with a trip to Belgium and possibly The Peaks. As long as wool is ok I'm interested, as the photo you posted makes it look a very appealing proposition.

It's beautiful country.

Super Vigorelli? So you're one of the disappearing into the distance riders then :)

This could be the incentive to get one of my projects finally built. I have a 1960's CWS Commuter frame and fork though I suspect its one of the frames intended to be a Clarks Scamp moped. The comedy value of this choice of bike is its a 16" wheeled step through bike and I'm a 6'6" beanpole. Time for some inventive bodging without straying into post 87 componentry :LOL:

Would an 88 Alves squeeze in? Building one Sunday!

I imagine that anything that looks like an old style bike will be welcome.

i suppose it's the spirit of the thing and everyone making the effort that makes the event. I can't see the missing by 1 year being an issue.

in the itailian erocia there's people riding and wearing all sorts or conforming and non conforming gear. i went to the effort of removing my pre 87 aero levers and look pedals and found numerous people riding bikes for the 90's and beyond.

In the Highlands real men play shinty.

Exactly, I did say it wasn't cricket...What's shinty, sounds like some kind of shin kicking competition?
