Pepsi Cola 1968 - cycling figurine

Le Petit Cycliste's zamak collection faithfully captures the jerseys of the professional peloton, season after season. This figurine represents the Pepsi Cola team in the 1968 season, cast in the zinc alloy that defines the range and hand-painted in French workshops.

The 1968 season stands as one of the most gripping chapters in the classic era of cycling. At the Tour de France, Dutchman Jan Janssen pulled off a stunning comeback, overturning Herman Van Springel in the final time trial to snatch the yellow jersey just hours from Paris. On the Giro d'Italia, Eddy Merckx was already asserting himself as the peloton's dominant force. Reigning world champion Vittorio Adorni had crushed the 1968 World Championships with a historic winning margin. A season defined by epic duels and ambitious teams racing across the roads of Europe.

Every zamak figurine is:

• Made in France, in small production runs
• Hand-painted with meticulous attention to detail
• True to the jersey worn on the roads that season
• A perfect addition to any collection or peloton recreation

A collector's piece for anyone passionate about the history of professional cycling.
