Other than a level top tube, not sure I pick-up the vintage vibe, sedate is my impression.
I sensed the solitary rider as a tribute to all the top riders skipping the Giro this year.
Autumnal colours for the timing of the race, and the poster in general I love, but ....it doesn't strike me as a race poster.
