So, 1987 is the cutoff. Does that mean that no C-Record due to the aero cable routing and the index downtube shifting?
I guess since no one gave you a hard time for the 7700 it might be OK. I wonder if the european L'Eroica is more strict about this stuff.

The first year, I rode a Cinelli frame made in 1990 equipped with early SR. The second year on an 87 Schwinn Voyageur converted to 650b with Mafac centerpulls. Last year on a custom Pelizzoli made in 2016 with Dura Ace 7700. Got lots of complements on each of them from knowledgeable participants, not a bit of shade. The whole equipment thing is often overblown by people who haven't been there; I've found it to be a group of really nice folks who aren't very snobbish as long as you're using friction downtube shifters.

Back to the OP's question, though. TB14's are great in 36 hole, either polished or anodized. Super strong, happy with 32's, keep a true (important on those gnarly rutted gravel hills) and look great.

As Doc said, the rules are more guidelines than absolutes other than a few things. C-Record would be fine with friction shifters. Two years ago (IIRC) they changed the rules regarding aero levers and they are now legal. Consider that Bianchi makes a bike (Eroica) which has a 10sp cassette and is "certified by the L'Eroica commission as suitable for participating in global L' Eroica events".

I have heard that they are more strict in Italy. FWIW I have been to every edition in CA and no one has ever checked my bike to see if it met the rules.

CRecord was friction shifters well into the early 90s. Yes, CDA, Chorus was Syncro 1/2, click shifting but as I said, friction was still made. CRecord came out about 1985..AND use banana cutter brake housing with those early brake levers that could be both.

Found these tonight. Glue on one rim so evidently have been built but could hardly have been used. Have some tape residue on rim centers that may appear to be scuffs but will clean up easily.

TB14s for ease of use. Low profile box-section for authenticity

Along with the Campagnolo Record Pave these were a step above all other box section aluminium tubular rims. In my view...

*IF* you can even find a decent pair....They are brutally durable, though.

Galli Top Crits. To me they look more golden in person. I used the flash which may have washed out the color a bit.

At least as of two years ago my LBS had them in stock. They're a quirky little shop in the Fashion District that mostly serves the bike messenger crowd.

Those are nice rims but somewhat 'soft' IMHO..and single eyelet so not exceeding tension is really important..the challenge to make the tension high enough so they stay true but not so high to pull an eyelet out.
