I sell a photocopied reprint that includes the article:

Sporting Cyclist Magazine -- 474 page selection of the best articles from 1959-1968 issues, including special issues devoted to the Tour de France, Fausto Coppi, Tom Simpson, and articles by Rene de Latour and J.B.Wadley on the greatest riders of the day. The classic years of Anquetil, Poulidor, Gaul, Geminiani, Bahamontes, the "two Rics", etc. A truly 'epic' read! Highly recommended! Color cover. $ 50
