I'm turning over the idea of organising a vintage-only alleycat race for the springtime, here in Minneapolis. Thus far, this is what I've come up with:
1977 cut-off date. Nothing made after that.
All frames must be steel (Easily checked with a magnet)
Geared bicyles welcome, but limited to internally geared hubs, or derailleurs and 10 speeds. Not 12, not 14. 10 speeds.
No index shifting, friction only.
SS/fixed bikes must have cottered or one-piece cranks.
Points awarded/time slashed for mechanical oddities. Anyone with a Positron derailleur gets a minute off their overall time, anyone using the Integer freewheeling crankset gets a minute off. Like that.
No dual-pivot sidepull brakes. They bug me.
I'm having trouble coming up with ideas for checkpoint tasks. I don't want to make them annoying, but they should be challenging. Any and all ideas welcomed, though if it's fookin stoopid, it will of course be mocked.
