The day before L’eroica is a bicycle market with all things vintage bicycle. For those looking for that hard to find part or those who just wish to browse the market day is the place to be. From complete bicycles, to parts, to tools, to clothing it is all there. Principally Italian but not exclusively. Not to forget the people to meet and great food to sample.
Notable was the now wide range of reproduction goods. Jerseys, timber wheels and even a homage to the Bianchi of the fifties and sixties with the official Bianchi L’eroica bicycle.
Prices range from high to reasonable with most vendors prepared to bargain. A part of L’eroica not to be missed and integral to the ride itself.
