Cant think of where I saw them but try model railway trackside items, G guage is pretty near I think.  For cycles try French sites, "Tour de France" etc .

This is expensive but a superb model:

I got one from an American eBay seller a bit cheaper.


Tamiya also do one a lot cheaper but the spokes are way out of scale so it depends on how much you want it to be realistic.
