Books of England were nice enough to invite me to L’Eroica in Gaiole Italy. This is a classic bike race where you must be on a bike pre-1987 and no clip in pedals allowed. The route was filled with Strade Bianchi and was an absolute amazing route to go.

    1. Downtube shifters JUST AREN'T THAT HARD!! I always shake my head at young hipsters who think there is some unknowable magic to making them work! Unlike integrated shifters (that won't shift properly unless all parts of your system are perfect) downtube friction shifters don't require perfect adjustment and/or compatibility of components to shift well.

    2. I would love to do one of these rides but that said I love it to see people who do this ride that is all about the bike and your bike getting fixed mid rice that is super cool

    3. very impressive video! thank you for showing the cultural landscapes and traditions of Italy, this video is really underrated for its quality.
