While looking I also came across De;;'s Complete Guide to Bicycles- a buyer's Guide- 1974 A cheap period Gitane with an aluminum bottle graces the cover. Nylon-hooden mafac levers with no hood covers, maxy-3 arm swaged crank, somplex prestige derailleurs.... steel post with non integrated clamb- in trendy orange

Inside the bikes are better Pro road bikes include Atala Record Pro Chiorda pro Bottecchia Pro and Giro d' Italia

Cinelli corsa B . Special corsa, and Supercorsa the list goes on Too much to list but the descriptions are a gasthios is a good book to bring to the Cirque
