The Ancients managed to keep track of the complex gearing on 2x4 speed
machines, over poor or no pavement, all through the classics (climbs,
heat and cold, crashes and punctures without assistance) with those
primitive gear levers. But then again they were real men.

About the bikes: "Eroica rides are organized exclusively for Bici
Eroiche (Historical Bikes); road-racing bikes built in 1987 or earlier,
both with and without gears. These bikes normally have a steel frame
with shift levers on the down tube and brake cables that must pass
outside and over the handlebars. Pedals should be with toe clips and
straps; quick release or clipless pedals are not allowed."

Some friends/folks from the club have done this and similar. Good drink and
