EDIT:
found it
now that's a spicy meat-a-ball!
Ya it does look cool. It's been featured in Velonews and Bicycling. A couple years ago I saw a movie called something like The Fausto Coppi Story or something on TLN. It was in Italian, but the photography and art direction was so cool I was glued to the set. It must have been shot on some of the same roads and mountain passes.
P.S. Has anyone seen the feature Le Velo de Ghislain Lambert?
