The Show & Shine is looking huge!
Will be attending Pushies Galore the weekend before Eroica, I'm sure there will be a few more recruits!

put your phone number on your bike so ppl can sms you and find you.
most of us will recognise bike more easily than people, unless you all look like your avatars

Yesterday, Cotterpin & I had a meeting with the event organisers; if we can all be in Pomona by about 8.30am,
we will be allowed to ride under the start/finish of King of the Mountain & use the section of closed road up to the base of Mt. Cooroora.
Expect this sector to be reminiscent of the Mur de Huy in Belgium's 'La Flèche Wallonne'......
except maybe not lined with screaming, beer drinking Belgians at that time of the day....

Also, looking for feedback, do you reckon this would work as a 'tweed bike' with flipped north road bars and a Brooks B17? I'll probably also swap the not particularly attractive cranks for some older steel ones, maybe even cottered.
