I'm all about a retro criterium. I second that one. Extra points for retro (wool) uniforms and water bottles, etc, as well.

Here Here!!! I am for it 100%. A smoke hanging off the side of my mouth, classic tyers criss crossed around my shoulders. Tin water bottles on the handle bars. The cobbles may be a bit difficult to come by, and I had better start growing the muuuustache. This event is sooooooo happening.
