    Thanks for posting that - beautiful! I'd be happy with some of those framed on my wall at home.

    Very interesting and tastefully done. Nice mix of old photos and new editing.

    Will try and pop along - thanks.

    Does look good - bet Peter Sagan wishes the world was a little more like pic 6 on the site (No44) :wink:


    Thought that might be up your street FF.

    Great find, thanks for posting. "Of darkness do we dread" is particularly stricking, but just what is happening above LA's left arm?

    Not sure, but did notice Edgar A Poe's signature!

    Clever and topical imagery.

    He's a good graphic designer but isn't it just cashing in on the current cycling/TDF boom? As for Milton, purlease, pretentious Guardian reader claptrap.

    If by 'cashing in' you mean making things that people might like to buy then, err, probably.

    Do you think they would look better with quotes from e.g. Bravo Two Zero?

    But fairdoos, if you're 12 and into cycling it would be cool to have one on your wall.
