Stan Engelbrecht Posted March 10, 2016 Share 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 Barry_W and zagato 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grondpad Posted March 11, 2016 Share Here is the link to my thread of my beloved little Pinnarello Treviso (fixie/track bike). I can’t give you its age cause I still can’t find much info on the web.As you can see n the pics, the bike is in very good condition except for the saddle and I honestly can think of a better fit for the Brooks saddle than this beauty. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/118638-pinarello-treviso/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quintonb Posted March 11, 2016 Share Images of my 1989 Hansom (Right), and Colnago. Colnago doesnt qualify because it has a modern groupset on. Edited March 11, 2016 by quintonb Loose cog, olffie1, HeyYou and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted March 11, 2016 Share Does one need to be entered to participate in the eroica event? If not, here's some pics of my Zeus, in desperate need of a new saddle. #justsaying olffie1, Tumbleweed and Barry_W 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Sounds like lots and lots of fun. Tumbleweed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clippies Posted March 11, 2016 Share The only thing not finishing off my custom board track / rat rod/ racer is a Brooks saddle Tumbleweed and HeyYou 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry_W Posted March 11, 2016 Share I posted this on the FaceBook page but there seems to be more action here so I am re-posting. This is my Eroica bike, a fantastic early 80's South African LeJeune made by the legendary Francois du Toit. The Reynolds 531 frame is in beautiful condition for it's age and could really do with the ultimate finishing touch of a lovely Brooks L’Eroica Tuscany Team Professional saddle and matching bar tape. It would really help this heroic bike to proudly showcase South African frame building, craftsmanship and cycling history at the first Eroica South Africa in Montague. This bike is not going to be just a show piece and will go on to the tackle the Tour of Ara as my new tour bike later in the year. #eroicabrooks337 Edited March 11, 2016 by Barry_W zagato, quintonb, HeyYou and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olffie1 Posted March 12, 2016 Share This beautiful late 60's DHC built with Reynolds 531 tubing will be tearing up the gravel in Montagu at the first Historical Eroica event held in South Africa come Saturday the 23rd of April.The Brooks Tuscany Team Professional saddle would complement this Historical bicycle to the full.In the true spirit of the event the South African bicycle manufacturers at the height of SA's racing history will be remembered!

Guest notmyname Posted March 12, 2016 Share Two years ago I saved this 91 Pinarello Gavia from 9 years of dirt road commuting by an old farm worker in Limpopo. Completely beat up and broken then, but now almost back to her former glory. As you can see below the Selle ITALIA she has is in a state of disrepair. The day I got her back to jhb Slowly getting there. Added period Mavic hoops built on campy hubs. She's got to be a SS until I can afford the balance of the campy drive train.Poor state of the Selle ITALIA.Love this bike. It's my only roadie and we go for a spin every week.

Loose cog Posted March 12, 2016 Share My wife and my bike for the 1st Eroica in South Africa. We can't wait, its going to be a weekend to remember seeing many friends from all over the country. My wife's Zini Reynolds 501 tubing with Shimano 600 groupset. Some old 6200 and newer tricolour parts. Brooks B17 in honey, for my honey! My Alpina Columbus SLX with Dura-Ace groupset. Various DA series from 1st gen levers and callipers and newer 8spd derailleurs. Unfortunately my old Brooks has seen better days and will not last the Eroica so I really, really need a new Brooks saddle please! olffie1, Barry_W and quintonb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
