60's film

It's worth watching this short film from the 60's--great soundtrack, bikes, and clothing: http://www.nfb.ca/film/60_cycles/

Reportage sur le 11e Tour cycliste du Saint-Laurent en 1965, auquel ont participé des coureurs de treize pays et de trois continents. Monté avec une musique s'accordant au rythme intérieur des cyclistes, ce film signé Jean-Claude Labrecque, tourné en grande partie dans un décor champêtre, est d'une grande beauté visuelle.

Did you notice the credits?
4 people are named, not just JEAN BOBET, (Louison Bobet's brother, still living), but also the great French movie director LOUIS MALLE!

Totally cool. The music isn't by **** Dunn, but sure is a good imitator. Excellent!

I can't believe this - the auto-editor blacked out the name of THE KING of the Surf Guitar!

...just curious who is the King of whom you speak...surf is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me and any hints to move my info pile forward would be really appreciated...as a point of reference have a very soft spot in my heart for The Raybeats w/Jody Harris...

Nice film.

Interesting to see the riders bob and weave like punch-drunk boxers on relatively short climbs.

Those were the days.

Cool video. 1965 right? That year Gimondi won the GC over Poulidor. Jan Janssen took the points class.

Anyone know what rider numbers they had? If so, they might be spotted in the video.
