Ray, Pete Matthews was still in his shop earlier this year. He was selling most of the stuff on his website he told me. Perhaps Aldo can find some stuff on my favourite riders, Francois Faber, Fiorenzo Magni and Henri Pelissier. All three of the Pelissier's are fascinating and it makes you wonder what the fourth might have achieved. So many decent riders fell in the Great War. Best wishes and take care Mick. PS. That would make a great quiz question, how many riders have won Flanders and Paris-Roubaix in the same year. --
