I was really looking forward to going to Eroica California for the first time this spring. I was going to be there as a vendor, not a rider, but I had still figured out a way to get some riding in: the plan was to fly from Boston to San Francisco on March 26 with my friend Dave, then visit with another friend in Santa Rosa for a couple of days before embarking on a little camping tour down the coast to Cambria. We figured on arriving by mid-day on Thursday, in plenty of time to set up the booth.
Everything was ready to go. I modified the cabling of my PX-10 so I could disassemble it (in a sort of bastard rinko fashion) for easy transport. I put together some snappy-looking chainring displays. I picked up a new batch of 144 triplizers from the polishing shop. I bought a new pair of pants.
But then...well, you already know the rest. You had plans, too, right?
My special Eroica deal was going to be the inclusion of a free bolt kit with any triplizer purchase--something that ordinarily costs an additional $12. Anyone buying a 37-tooth Stronglight ring (which doesn't require the triplizer bolt kit) would get it for $12 off the usual price.
In theory, the event is going to be rescheduled for sometime in September or October, although it would not surprise me if it doesn't happen at all this year. But here's the point: order a chainring between now and July 4, 2020 (a date I just now pulled out of thin air), and you get the same deal--a free bolt kit with a triplizer, or twelve bucks off on a 37-tooth double ring. And, what the hell, the same $12 off on the Freewheel Key.
Stay safe, everybody!
