> "Hi All, does anyone on the list collect > toys related to cycling? Mark, It's true that these things are now being imported to the US but they should be easy to find in France and Belgium. Anyway, that's where I bought mine. I know you're in Scotland but if you manage to travel to the continent it shouldn't be too difficult to find more of them. Also, I've noticed that these miniatures rarely are painted to represent modern teams. I.e. the ones I bought in the '80s had markings for '60s and '70s teams. And the pair I bought last year had '80s markings (for the La Redoute team). Perhaps all that is changing now that they're intentionally selling them to adults. Anyway, your's sound as if they're from the mid '60s at the latest. You might have to bring them to the Continental version of the Antiques Roadshow for an appraisal.
