Thanks Peter.  Very helpful.

are in line with the construction period of the bicycle and that they are 
efficient for safety reasons.

Although this is somewhat vague.  I think, but am not sure upon reading a 
couple times, I could keep the mid-reach Shimano dual pivot calipers on my 
otherwise early-80s Campy Super Record equipped (albeit with Simplex 
retrofriction shifters, natch!) Kellogg.

Agreed.  Absolutely bizarre.  What's the point of attending the event if 
you don't like the period equipment?  And you really are denying yourself a 
treat.  Campy 4021 Super Record Strada pedals spin so smooth.

is only two cogs.

Thanks.  I figured some brave souls would hazard the ride without 
derailers.  That's how it all began!

One question - Everyone in the pictures appear to be wearing cycling 
costumes.  My love for riding vintage style bikes stops with the machine. 
 I don't wear modern or vintage cycle specific clothing.  Comfortable, 
looser fitting multi-sport clothing for me.
