I rode a 1962 Legnano Gran Premio this year on the long route. Next year I will also be riding a 1962, but a different bike.

I've got the bike, an early-80s Centurion. I see they want you to wear retro cycling clothing, too. Wear can you source old-style jerseys and how pricey?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I haven't decided yet. Last year it was my trusty red Pinarello:
This year it may be my '76 Raleigh Pro, which can barely fit 32c tires, or if I'm feeling like really pushing myself, my '75 Gitane Track

FYI, eBay is the easiest place to find the retro jerseys or you can always purchase the Eroica California Jersey from Santini.

My list of possible selections is pretty short.

Either of my Raleighs:
I also plan to have a Motobecane Grand Record to build up soon, once the frame arrives and I can track down some proper sized cable clips/cable stop.

When I retire, I'll have more time for rides like Eroica.
I would likely bring my older McLean.
Just have to toss on correct pedals.
