Having got some decorating completed, we've now got some bare walls which
would benefit from some cycling pictures / posters / prints.
What I'd like are some monochrome prints of touring / utility cycling
scenes (as found on gettyimages.com) from say, the 30's to the 60's
(arguably the golden age of cycle touring in Europe).
I have found postershop.co.uk who have a good range or racing images, and
what looks like a good framing service.
Any other advice / recomendations from the gallery?

Here's a good one :-)

You could do very much worse than visiting
http://www.patclearyart.co.uk/cyclinghtml/cyclingindex.htm
for paintings of bike racing
I have a print of "the watercarriers" on my wall, it seems to depict a
golden age of cycling. I just choose to ignore the drugs that were
prevalent then and might be sitting in those jersey pockets.

one photo i would love to have a print of is one i saw in a sports
photography book a few years ago.
it was a side on photo of the finish line of the tour de france ( it
looked as if it was from the mid 80's ) with 3 riders side on just as
they sprinted across the finishing line.
has anyone else seen this and knows who its by?

cheers

That sounds terribly familiar to me, wasn't one of the riders Sean
Kelly, and could you see a sponge down the jersey of one of them?

Thank you everyone - posters now ordered from art.com

Not exactly what I was after, but an excellent selection (and some classic
railway prints too).

its not the one i'm thinking of but its a very good photo all the same,

the one i'm thinking of had 4 riders but only 3 were visible and they
were going from left to right, i think it was taken from the side right
on the finishing line.

cheers
