Seen in an antique / bric a brac shop in Pontrieux, Brittany. Your very own Tour de France.....

They were asking 30 Euros for one of the motorcycle models so Lord knows how much the whole peleton would set you back!

First attempt at posting a photo. I will go back and re-read instructions and try again!!

I quite fancy collecting them at some point, but will need to stop spending money on real bikes first!!

Hallelujiah!

The link on my original post now modified to give full sized picture. I think.

They have that newfangled spokeless wheel technology!

The ones at the front with hands up appear to be more recent castings, presumably along with the ballet dancing support crew.

The ones at the front with hands up appear to be more recent castings, Nazi sympathisers.

FTFY.

FTFY.

It's a bit early in the thread to be invoking Godwin's law

 

[Dayvo]

oh, uncharacteristically, I'm at the back in my Belgium national champion jersey!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Kewl, that would look great set up somewhere!

Also, I like the Bee, and what is that train coach in the background (except for a Pullman I mean)??
