La beauté de la fatigue et le frisson de la conquête

Register your Vintage Bike during the Eroica Montalcino days

The register of bicycles arises with the intention of gathering information, data, and images of bicycles "for racing and not" built in different eras but still perfectly functional, so that it is possible to make known and appreciate their particularities, their history, and above all their unique beauty. The Register is a real catalog of pedal-powered historical jewels. It starts with bicycles from the early twentieth century up to 1987, the deadline identified by L’Eroica as the beginning of the rapid modernization of bicycles.

The bicycles listed in the Register of Heroic Bikes are more than 2500 and constitute an important archive that enthusiasts and collectors can consult. In the archive, there are almost all brands, from the most famous to those of local artisans and limited production.


Anyone can register their bike, regardless of participation in L'Eroica. The purpose of the Register is to promote bicycle and cycling culture.

With its formalization during the 2023 edition of Eroica Montalcino, the Register of Heroic Bikes had its great success during the XXVI edition of L’Eroica.

In Gaiole in Chianti, 63 bicycles were registered in the Register, collecting images, information, and data aimed at creating a catalog of bicycles, "for racing and not," whose construction unmistakably dates back to before 1987.


The Register returns for the VIII edition of Eroica Montalcino.

The members of the Verification Commission will be present during the event days to welcome new registrations to the Register. This year too, registration can be done by presenting the bicycle, by appointment, on Friday, May 24th, and Saturday, May 25th.
