I've just created a Youtube channel which I hope will publish various films which will mostly have vintage interest. I'm working in collaboration with Ray Pascoe (cyclists film shows at Hammersmith and E. Finchley) who has a lot of classic material available.
The channel is called 'Vintage Cyclists', since the intention is to concentrate on the men and women rather than the machines. The first little clip I have uploaded tonight is not intended to be typical - it's just an experiment which I've made because I wasn't at all sure I could do it.
There is a sizeable library of old racing films which are not generally available, and we hope to interview a number of racing men from the golden age of the fifties and sixties. Ray has already done a long interview with Alf Engers, but since he has already invested money in putting that onto a CD I'm not certain I can persuade him to make it freely available - we'll have to see.
I will post again when there is more to see, but in the meantime I'd like to hear whether this sounds an interesting project, and whether there's anything in particular you'd like to see on film - it is possible it exists!
