reminds me of the classic bike film a sunday in hell. something about watching old cycling footage i find great to watch. i also love the classic old steel racing bikes too.
those guys are tough for sure.

Look at the state of the cobbles under kellys front wheel. 😯
Just looking at them makes my hands hurt.

yes, and not even on knobblies
I remember Moser's victory in 1978 - World of Sport would show brief clips of races, about the only time you ever saw bike racing on UK TV. Longed for a wet P-Rx like Schmil in 1994 - don't think we've had a 'wet' one this century.
Love those..anyone know how I go about buying the rights to get one on my wall?
Bernard hinault was amazing. Paris roubaix is Something else. The speeds they go through the arenberg and it's sketchy as ****.
You can buy prints from L'equipe photo archive - I bought some a few years ago but it now appears to be behind a paywall. If you want 'nails' how about the 1982 Liege-Bastogne-Liege? - Hinault cleared-off up the road on his own in the snow:

Hinault won Liege-Bastogne-Liege in 1980 not 82, only 21 riders finished the race out of over 170 starters! He got a degree of frostbite in his right hand and only got movement back after a few weeks & when I met him at a wedding in Yffiniac in 1996 he said his hand still troubled him from time to time along with his knees.
