L'Erocia
Just been lucky enough to get a place for L'Eroica in Tuscany in October. The only problem is that I now need to find a pre-87 steel road bike with gear levers on the down tube to ride. As I'll probably only use it for this ride I don't want to chuck money at it.
Any one got any ideas on where to pick up a bike?
Cheers in Advance
Andrew

Where are you based?
London
I got my steed from the village bike in Carlshaton South london. They've got plenty of bikes and bits. Coney Hall Cycles in West Wickham also seems to have some.
