I've hunted out plenty of Italian craft beer in my travels (there's actually an Italian craft beer joint just over in Chiswick). But when in Italy I'm usually smashing the cheap red and espressos.
Reckon I can just glue some random cable outers to the frame and at the inspection shout "look over there, a gold-plated Colnago!" and sneak through?

If you fit pedals with cages and straps, downtube shifters and route the brake cables above the bars - plus perfect your Italian speaking skills to convince the guy at the starting line the frame was built before 1984, you're in for a nice day of suffering. Although I think you'll suffer even more finding decent Italian craft beers :D
The red wine and food though... magnificent
