I used to have a poster of a haggard-but-triumphant-looking Laurent Fignon on the cover of BiciSport magazine and another poster of the Campy gruppo drawings in my college dorm room. I should see if I can dig them up and frame them. I didn't think they were worth much then, but probably they are worth framing now.

Isn't it? There was one hanging in the first real shop I worked in and I always wanted one of my own.

It is. Over the years I've spent quite some time looking at it. The story in that picture ...

If by shop you mean my dining room - where most work gets done - then yes

Pictures
We've been moving and I posted this as I was taking my bike area apart. We are moving from a house with 1,500 square feet of basement to one with probably less the 500. :-) I've been with limited internet so hadn't gotten back to this thread and have been enjoying the posts. As I was packing things up I came across a few posters that hadn't made the cut which I should try to get to new homes. I snapped a few pictures. I need to take pictures of my keepers which one is a signed Eddy Merckx poster from the 82 or 83 Chicago bike show. The other is a signed posted of Sean Kelly. Here are the ones I found tucked away.
I found three of these, one with LeMond's signature thought that one isn't in as good of share.
Next is this cool Modolo from when LeMond won the World Campianship.
This one is of Andy Hamsten from the Giro, it was part of a calendar from a shop.
This one was from a show for a glove company of LeMond
When I worked for Trek we were importing the Gitane line when they were a main sponsor in pro cycling and I had grabbed this one of Laurent Fignon
Last is this one which probably is probably banned. :-)

In the upstairs bath.
This one is actually at a local antique place but I have one just like it in the downstairs hallway.
In the garage.

I don't really have any walls to put something on in my bike area. But the first photo shows what hangs in the family room (It actually is hanging now) and the second will be hanging in there shortly.

Prints and posters
With the demise of my bike space I sent these 4 to our friends beach house which is completely outfitted with cycling prints and posters.
This has been one of my favorites over the years. It was picked-up at the Chicago cycling show when Eddy was introducing his new line of frames. Sadly the signature has faded by too much sunlight.
Next is this awesome Sean Kelly poster that I was able to have him sign during his appearance at one of the Tour De Pont races. I don't think he rode in the states too many times so this was a cool memory. He was such a gentlemen.
Next is a cool print from the Core States Pro Championships. My company banked with Core States and we were able to have VIP access for several years. As part of the gift packet you received a signed copy of the print used for the marketing of the race.
The last one was this old, I believe, Fuji marketing print that they gave out one year.
I can't wait to see how they look in their new environment. :-)

What is this and where did you find it?! Having served two years in Peace Corps Morocco (riding a bike around our town), this would be spectacular.
