Campagnolo : 75 Years of Cycling Passion
As Leica is to cameras and Ferrari to racing automobiles, Campagnolo is to cycling: designer of the finest parts for bicycles ever made. Campagnolo's jewel-like brakes, pedals, derailleurs, cranksets, and wheels have been ridden to more race victories than any other brand, yet the same components are available to cycling enthusiasts worldwide.
Campagnolo: 75 Years of Cycling Passion is a celebration of this legacy that will be cherished by every cycling fan. Campagnolo's rich history began with the founder, Tullio Campagnolo, a racer who turned to creating better bicycle parts when he found the equipment of the day not adequate for the rigours of professional competition. Blending exotic alloys with sound engineering, Campagnolo created a series of patented designs that are still in use today as the fundamental standards upon which modern parts are based. With its deeply researched history (much of it from the company's private archives), spectacular colour photography, rich text and lavish presentation, Campagnolo: 75 Years of Cycling Passion is a book for every lover of the sport of cycling, as well as connoisseurs of the bicycle itself.
Colour and black-and-white photos and illustrations throughout.
Hardback with jacket.
Author Biographies:
Paolo Facchinetti is a journalist and writer who has served as editor for a number of leading Italian periodicals. He has written numerous books that reconstruct the history of cycling. He is currently a lecturer of cycling history at the University of Siena.
Guido Rubino is a freelance journalist and writer who specialises in cycling technology. He is renowned for his ability to clearly describe intricate mechanical objects and their technological evolution.
