Saw this on Instagram as I was watching today's final stage of the TdF:

I tried to catch a glimpse of the rider in question among the peleton, but was 
not successful. He was only mentioned once by the commentators, as having a 
very outside chance of winning the stage.

I did however, as the race was approaching downtown, catch a glimpse of a 
spectator with a beautiful randonneur bike with metal fenders, front racks, 
etc. It was right around 63km to go. I wonder if it was a Singer.

Anyone know the last time a steel bike was ridden in the tour? One of the 
Bianchis from the Pantani era, maybe?

Also, on that steel Eddy Merckx: holy saddle to bar drop, Batman!
