Description: | Select Guide Rating Of the 81 who rolled out of Milan, only eight made it back. Committed to total authenticity, Tim acquires the ruined husk of a gearless, wooden-wheeled 1914 road bike with wine corks for brakes, some maps and an alarming period outfit topped off with a pair of blue-lensed welding goggles. A 3,162 km race. A 48-year-old man. A 100-year-old bike. Made mostly of wood. That he built himself. |
