Nice idea, but there are better posters elsewhere online.
that first one (Mercier) is the only one I’d even consider putting on my wall.

These are really cool! Especially the train one with the winners names. But, of course it is already sold out.

With the risk of being a pedantic curmudgeon …. Rapha make great clothes in a classic style but I find the marketing purposefully misleading. They started in 2004. The storied sponsor from the 60’s (all those sepia photos of Anquetil) was St Raphael, who in their first year had been known as Rapha to circumvent advertising/sponsorship restrictions.

I’m not hating on Rapha, I’ve nothing against nostalgia and I absolutely believe that cycling history is interesting and important. It just feels like they’re doing the equivalent of claiming they rode for the 7Eleven team when in fact they just bought the jersey at an auction.

Now don’t i feel better for getting that off my chest …
