Re:

Here are the rules:

http://www.retroronde.be/en/163-protocol

It only says rather vaguely 'vintage racing bikes', no specific date is mentioned. I think the main
thing is to try to comply with the rules about toeclips, no ergopower/sti type shifters etc.

Vintage non-racing bikes have to be from before 1987.

As I said, the rules are not really enforced at all, it's up to you to decide what's in the spirit of the event and stick with that.

They need to be built before 1987. Here are the Retroronde rules. They're similar to L'Eroica's.
