I have a 43 year old Woodrup bicycle, in good shape and equipped with Campagnolo components. While I have ridden recreationally for years, I have never done any road bike racing and do not know too much about it.
Nevertheless, my school is starting up a cycling team. They say that anyone can compete, frome beginners to experts. Would it be completely ridiculous to try racing on this thing? I have always pictured myself beating a bunch of decked out roadies on my decades old bike that I bought for $11 at a garage sale.
If that is out of the picture, what am I looking at spending for a used beginner road bike suitable for racing?
