Purveyors of all things style on two wheels Deus ex Machina once again infiltrated the rolling hills and strade bianche of Chianti for the 2016 edition of L’Eroica. A kind of old school cosplay with bicycles and wine, a proliferation of handlebars and handlebar moustaches, and no carbon in sight.

The American arm of Deus Cycleworks also made the trip under the guise of reconnaissance for next year’s Californian rendering of the Italian blueprint.
