Got a vintage ride coming up this year? Events like L'Eroica seek to capture that golden-hued nostalgic feeling of the classic era of cycling. Wool jerseys, steel-framed bikes, white socks and a sense of adventure are de rigeur, and there are often rules about how old bicycles must be to take part.
However, for anyone who's concerned about spending several hours in a knitted jumper on a bike in the June sunshine, fret not. There's an ever-expanding array of modern cycle kit with a vintage feel, so you can have your performance fabric and channel the champions of yesteryear.
So whether you're planning on riding on the strade bianche at the original L'Eroica, or stopping for tea and scones at the feed stations at L'Eroica Brittania, it's surely best to look the part for less, so you've got more money to spend on goodies when you're there…
