She lies flat on the bars, at full sprint. At 54 millimetres she is small enough to work as decoration on a bookshelf or windowsill. She is cast in a zinc alloy and painted by hand, and her weight keeps her standing wherever you set her down. An ideal gift for anyone who loves cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Ladies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew to the collection: female riders. Where the Bernard \u0026amp; Eddy peloton was made up of men only, the Ladies now ride along — in the same jerseys and at the same scale. That reflects a cycling world in which the women's peloton has found an audience of its own in recent years, with the Tour de France Femmes and classics followed as closely as the men's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Sprinter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ladies come in one position: that of the Sprinter. Bent low over the bars with the head down, giving everything in the last two hundred metres of the race. Of the five riding positions the Bernard \u0026amp; Eddy riders come in, this is the fastest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe polka dot jersey\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite with red dots: the jersey for the best climber in the Tour de France. Points are awarded at the summit of every categorised climb, and the harder the mountain, the more there are to win. The Tour de France Femmes has the same classification, in the same dots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003ePauline\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery female cyclist by Bernard \u0026amp; Eddy carries a first name of her own. Do you know who this one is? Pauline refers to Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, the French rider who became world champion on the road, in cyclo-cross and in mountain biking. She is the only rider in this collection to appear twice: in yellow and in the dots — and on a climber that second jersey fits perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bernard-eddy-miniatuur-wielrenners-handbeschilderd\" title=\"View the entire Bernard \u0026amp; Eddy collection\" style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBernard \u0026amp; Eddy - View the entire collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eName:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pauline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJersey:\u003c\/strong\u003e polka dot jersey, Tour de France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e the Sprinter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e zinc alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePainting:\u003c\/strong\u003e by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 54 x 58 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e from 3 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN71 1-2-3 and ASTM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eOne rider is a beginning, not an end\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut the two Paulines side by side: the same rider, two jerseys.

They were largely forgotten by the start of this century, until Bernard \u0026amp; Eddy brought the tradition back. There are no sponsors or logos on these riders, only countries and symbolic jerseys. “Long live the flags”, as the brand puts it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bernard \u0026 Eddy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58280243003736,"sku":"BERNARD\u0026EDDY-304107","price":13.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/9044\/9818\/files\/Ladies_Bolletjestrui-DesignMarket_A.webp?v=1787740507","url":"https:\/\/designmarket.today\/en\/products\/miniatuur-wielrenster-bolletjestrui-de-dame-bernard-eddy","provider":"Designmarket.today","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
