Hello,

I am still pondering the cycling weekly TdF DVDs. I particulatly want to buy the 1989 & 1998 ones, but they are really expensive. Normally I dont think twice abour splashing the cash on little cycle related treats, but these are almost prohibitively priced.

Are they good quality & well narrated, or are they a bit "hodge-podge"?

Anyone have a copy they'd like to lend / sell lol?! Otherwise, are they really worth the money?

    I know it's not exactly what you're looking for, but I bought this and thought it was a bit of a bargain.
  • I got a pack of 5 years ago. 89 to 93, I think.

    89 is a keeper of course.

    They aren't that well edited or put together. A product of their time, really. As I remember it a daily update of the leaderboard, which gets quite time consuming. Sudden cuts to any crashes etc.

    Worth it for the boyhood memories but TBH the early 90s ones got a bit dull to watch. Maybe I should revisit em.

    Are any of the more recent ones going to be available on Bluray? And without P&P commentating? That's the real turn off for me.
