Is that last pic Charly Gaul?

That road looks like my commute tonight!

23mm tyres wobbling in the ruts in ice.

I feel like a proper rider...

It's him alright.

Look pretty big for a 23mm tyres...

Looks like this years 'Fjord til Fjell'.

I wont be running a 20/22mm veloflex set-up next year. Feck no.

I fucking love Charley Gaul..

Those last 2 are lovely.

I adore that style of print.

I'm ashamed to have missed Friday smiles because Weird Friday was occurring.

Here's a slice of lovely:

Just found this on Prolly's blog... Schweeeeet!!!

One of a series of portraits of more senior cyclists by Twan de Veer

Jacques Anquetil and Raymond Poulidor battle it out on the climb of the Puy de Dôme during the 1964 Tour de France

They need to take a leaf out of Ed Snowball's book.

'Don't lean'.

Been ages since I've seen this thread! Love it!

Being given a book about Robert Millar for me crimbo, so in his honour here's Bobby Millar and Alvaro Pino at the '86 Vuelta:

Millar with a pretty shocking mullet. How the fuck he managed to climb anything with that flapping about behind him I don't know. Well seen he's a legend.

and here's a pretty cool mini-doc I found on Prenda's in French from 1993 when Robert Millar is showing some folk round his (and my) native Glasgow. It's a fucking shithole, and if you didn't know he's a pro cyclist, you'd just assume he's another junkie.
