    Hi, you are the lucky winner... We love the paint job on this frame and it's amazing that it's in such good condition from the factory! Just remember those parts aren't fitting with Eroica rules. Send an email to info@eroicasouthafrica.com to claim your place. See you there, Stan and Dani, Organisers

    Event Name: Eroica South Africa When: 18 March 2017 Where: KWV Gallery, Western Cape Category: Road Clear the weekend of 18 March 2017 and come celebrate vintage Italian road cycling culture with us - bring your classic racing bicycles, and ride with us through the beautiful Karoo around the dirt roads north of Montagu in the Western Cape. Of course there will be great food and wine, and lots of old bicycles to lust over. With South Africa's rich cycling history, we’re proud to have this celebrated Italian event honoured on African soil. Montagu is the official home of Eroica South Africa, and our routes will stay the same for the foreseeable future. Our three beautiful gravel routes -140km, 90km and 40km - have been named after the Keisie, Kogman and Kingna rivers that meet in the spectacular Montagu valley. See you there! Go to Event Page

    Hi nomoregravity. Sorry man, best to follow the (post) race images by following @tourofara on Instagram, find it on Facebook, or visit the official Tour of Ara tumblr site here - http://tourofara.tumblr.com There are just too many channels to manage if I have to post here too. I hope you understand. Stan.

    Event Name: Tour Of Ara 2016 When: 15 October 2016 - 20 October 2016 Where: Vanrhynsdorp - Prince Albert, Western Cape Category: Road The Tour of Ara is a very tough 800km all-gravel 6-day stage race, ridden exclusively on vintage steel road racing bicycles, and only open to 40 racers. With the beautiful but harsh semi-desert Karoo as a backdrop, racers are pitted against each other, the elements, and themselves. Riding an old skinny-tyred road bikes over sharp rocks, relentless corrugations and through thick sand for 6 days is not for everyone, but those who dare are rewarded with breathtaking vistas, swift camaraderie and a sense of unmatched achievement. After lengthy days of being bounced around in the saddle and fighting your handlebars for control, there is also the fantastic food and wine to look forward to — always sourced locally, and prepared by the communities the Tour passes through. This ensures that the Tour of Ara isn’t only about racing headlong to the horizon, but also to experience the history and culture of the small communities travelled through. Go to Event Page

    Thanks HeyYou! Wow, what a compliment! I'm very well aware of the embarrassing teething problems, but don't worry - it will all be fixed for next year. See you there! Stan.

    Congratulation ren8gor! What a great old historic photograph, and a nice Alan too! Did you take that image? Must have been fantastic to be there...

Thanks for everyone who participated, and I hope to see you all in Montagu!

    Thanks to everyone who entered! Great to see so many fantastic bikes getting ready to line up at our inaugural Eroica South Africa. It was a tough choice, but I'm sure you all agree Loose cog needed some new leather down there. But don't despair - I have some more Brooks saddles and beautiful Santini jerseys to give away! Watch this space...
  13. Stan Engelbrecht
    Yes you can, Loose cog! Congratulations! You beautiful Alpina will soon have a brand new, limited edition Brooks X Eroica saddle to replace that well-worn and much-loved piece of history you have there. Time to put it in the trophy case! Please email me you delivery details to info@eroicasouthafrica.com, and I'll get it over to you as soon as possible. Stan.

    Hi RocknRolla. Nice Zeus! And no, the competition is open to anyone, as long as you're South Africa. You don't need to be entered into Eroica South Africa. Having said that, we would love to see your Zeus on the start line on 23 April! Join us!

    This is the second in a series of competitions we’re running leading up to our inaugural Eroica South Africa event. This is your chance to win a very special limited edition L’Eroica Tuscany Team Professional saddle. Brooks, in collaboration with Eroica, only produced 1000 of these beautifully embossed saddles, and this one is number 337. Click here to view the article

    If you spent a bit of time digging around for a vintage bicycle part in South Africa, one name always comes up - Ron Thompson. The legend, the infamy, the stories. You’ll hear things like, “he’s got seven garages piled to the roof with old bikes”, “he’s got parts in there worth millions”, “he’s a grumpy old dude who won’t sell anything!” And if you heard that, it’s kinda true. I know, I’ve been there, I’ve tried to buy stuff. Yes, seven garages and then some, but not quite packed to the ceiling - for all the chaos in Ron’s storage, there is a bit of order and it’s easy to snoop around. Worth millions? Maybe, to the right market. But that market does not exist in South Africa, not yet anyway. Click here to view the article

    Hi Zagato. Congratulations again. Please get in touch with your delivery details - you can mail me at info@eroicasouthafrica.com. I hope you'll be riding Eroica with us in Montagu on 23 April? Just not in those shorts!
  19. Stan Engelbrecht
    Thanks for the images guys! Some real classics. But there was one very clear standout winner - congratulations Zagato! I'm not sure if it was the short shorts or that boss disc wheel, but whatever is going on in this picture has earned you an Eroica jersey!

    The most common question I get asked about Eroica coming to South Africa is, “Will my bike be allowed?”. Now it is true that the rules pertaining to what bike you can ride is very strict, and that not too many of these rare old racers are available locally, but to address this we’ve created a second category especially for South Africa.

    This will be the first in a series of competitions we’re running leading up to our inaugural Eroica South Africa event. We know how sought after and hard-to-find these fantastic jerseys are, so we’re making a couple available as special prizes! Click here to view the article

    Hi olffie1. We are working hard finalising the routes around Montagu, as well as securing spaces for various aspects of the event. Please be sure to sign up to the mailing list on www.eroicasouthafrica.com and we'll keep you up to date with developments. In the meantime have a look at http://eroicabritannia.co.uk/general-information/bike-rules for regulations, but know that there will be a second category with slightly relaxed rules for South Africa.
