In particular if the bikes are inspired by the design of *road racing bicycles of the 1970’s and 1980’s*, they must comply with rules a), b), and c) above, regarding shift levers, toe clips and straps, and brake cables. (emphasis added). So the question is whether your Saluki would fit in as a "road racing bicycle of the 70s and 80s?!" Good Luck!
