The Rapha images are awesome, and I may use one of those. I think I've said before that Paris-Roubaix is my favourite race and I'd love some amazing images of that. Had a look around but struggling to find any decent photos I could use. Something that conveys the pain, that evokes the nostalgia, significance and emotion of this phenomenal Classic. Black & White would be best, but colour could work too.
Why not go with your man?

Nice. And it only takes a minute or two using Photoshop's cloning tool to remove the logo.Danlikesbikes wrote:Got mine from Rapha though not sure the style is to everyones taste - http://www.rapha.cc/downloads0 -

It used to be an achievement to ride over the old Koppenberg.
The bobble hat is as much Aero as the the brake cables and the down tube gear shift.Organiser, National Championship 50 mile Time Trial 19720 -

Even more of an achievement with the people stood in the way!
