Stan Engelbrecht Posted April 5, 2017 Author Posted April 5, 2017 Hello all! Apologies for my silence on this thread - I was lucky enough to go on a trip immediately after Eroica. Thanks so much to all of you who came and made our second Eroica a huge success! I hope our event will grow much bigger from next year on.  And thanks for all the compliments! I'm very happy you all had a great time. I know I did.  For those of you new to the idea and concept of Eroica - start hunting for an old steel road bike and come join us next year in Montagu on the weekend of 17 March 2018.  Stan. Ps. This image is from our unofficial coffee ride the next morning : )
DJR Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) More SUPER pictures here! They give a fantastic idea of the beautiful and dramatic Montague area and the route. https://eroicasouthafrica.com/gallery Edited April 24, 2017 by DJR seanp 1
Schmorglebot Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Hey guys,  I'm starting my planning early for my first Eroica in 2018. I've got the bike, got the legs (i think), just need to source some period correct kit. My question to those that have done the ride before: what gear ratios are you using? and what are the limitations of these old derailleur cages as far as cassette size goes? I'm used to riding a compact crankset so this 53/39 business is taking some getting used to
DJR Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 I just found out that Luciano Berutti, probably the best known eroica, died sometime in August. Apparently he went out riding near his hometown and was found dead next to the road and to his beloved bike. Some of you might have seen him or met him at the 1st Eroica South Africa in 2016, which he came to do, all the way from Italy. Sad news, but a fitting way to go for someone as passionate about cycling as he was. May you never have another puncture Luciano.
kamaalo Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Registration has opened for next years event!What distances will you be riding?Decided to go local steel for next year just need some mods and I should be good to go!-Thicker Tyres-bigger cluster-pedal change-Mayb a brake lever change?

DJR Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 It's the weekend after the Argus again, so, yes, I'll be doing it with the whole DJR crew. This far we are aiming for the 90kms, but thinking about the 140?Â
Loose cog Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Cool Hansom Kamaalo! Yes, agree brake lever change. We will ride Basso Gap and F Moser! 140km again!
BuffsVintageBikes Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Cool Hansom Kamaalo! Yes, agree brake lever change. We will ride Basso Gap and F Moser! 140km again! I'm curious to do this ride I'm just wondering about the brake lever change. Why and to what?
Shebeen Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 It's the weekend after the Argus again, so, yes, I'll be doing it with the whole DJR crew. This far we are aiming for the 90kms, but thinking about the 140? hmmmmmmm, yes i think we will have to do this one! prices are in Euros, adds some panache to it - enter before the whole Zuma NDZ/ Moyane/Nuclear (select your favourite potential clusterf$%^) sends the rand/EUR to the roof. don't have a bike that fits the bill, but it's not totally restricted and you know N+1 https://eroicasouthafrica.com/ DJR 1
