Retro 5s

Post by Patch » 25 Jan 2016 08:59

As last year the two five mile events towards the end of the club time trial calendar will have the option of being ridden on retro machines. This year I'm going to change it slightly. Instead of the times being based on one ride on an old bike and one on a current bike. This year it'll be just the old bike. Qualifying machines should be pre early 90s. Pre aheadset, no aero wheels, no tri bars and preferably no Sti levers (although I realise the gear levers might be a tall order).
There will be a bottle of fizz for the fastest on a retro machine for both rides.
