Wandered onto a really interesting shopping site, especially for those of you with a "vintage" twist
Head badges, art, films, etc... check it out!

You really need Tripletts of Belleville (sp?).
Watch around the action for the neat little touches - bicycle wallpaper, the Col du Femer, etc.Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

You all always have the best information. On another post Spazz recommended 2 seconds (love that movie, now own it).
Chelle- I am going to have to check out your movie. Many people on the forum are addicted to watching the Tour de France, I'm addicted to watching downhill racing (it could be both me and my hubby have a wicked crush on Tara Llanes). The topic of this film might be a good discussion on the forum.
I would recommend Wicked Tricks and Cunning Stunts, it's a trials video and always am awed by what Hans Rey can do.

* A Sunday in Hell - is great. It's about Paris-Roubaix in the early 1970's and follows the favourites Eddie Mercxs and Roger de Vlamick and their teams as they race from Paris to Roubaix over the legendary cobbles.
It's a real eye opener on the early days - complete with seeing the riders eating rare steaks for their breakfast on the race day, old woollen jersey's and the race being stopped by some newspaper workers demonstrating about job cuts.
* Death on a Mountain - is also good. About Britain's Tom Simpson who died on Mt Ventoux during the 1967 TdF, it's also a real eye opener on the way cyclists used to do things and the incredible stresses they face, both on the bike and off.
PS - like The Tour Baby. V. funny.
