Gitane Frigecreme 1973 - cycling figurine

Faithfully recreated from the iconic Gitane Frigecreme team jersey, this hand-painted zamak cycling figurine captures the spirit of a golden era in professional road cycling. Cast in France in a limited small-batch run, it's made for collectors who want to build their 1970s peloton down to the last detail.

The 1973 Season
The 1973 season stands as one of the decade's most compelling. On the Tour de France, Spain's Luis Ocaña finally claimed the overall victory he had long deserved, dominating the peloton from stage one to the final day — vindication after the heartbreak of 1971. Eddy Merckx, absent from that year's Tour, still ruled the Classics: Paris-Roubaix, Milan-San Remo… The Giro d'Italia and the World Championship both went to Felice Gimondi. In a peloton of extraordinary depth and rivalry, French squads like Gitane Frigecreme flew the flag for home cycling against the era's dominant Belgian and Italian powerhouses.
