Mervil Dunlop 1950 - cycling figurine

Mervil Dunlop 1950 — Belgian cycling in its post-war prime

The 1950 season stands as a landmark year in cycling history. On the roads of the Tour de France, Swiss climber Ferdi Kübler claimed overall victory, but it was the Belgian teams who truly ruled the peloton. On the cobblestones of the Spring Classics — those Flemish monuments where strength and tactics collide — squads like Mervil Dunlop were forces to be reckoned with on home roads. This was an era of rebuilding, of raw passion for the sport, of riders whose courage and endurance defined a generation.

This cycling figurine pays tribute to the Mervil Dunlop team as they lined up at the start line throughout the 1950 season. Every detail of the jersey has been faithfully reproduced, in keeping with the handcrafted tradition of the Petit Cycliste range.

• Material: zamak, a robust and finely detailed zinc alloy
• Hand-painted in France, faithful to the period colours
• Height: approx. 5 cm
• Compatible with all figurines in the range

A rare piece for rebuilding the peloton of the great years of Belgian classic cycling — or adding to a display dedicated to the golden age of the sport.
