> Vintage Bicycle Quarterly is about all things lightweight. The latest
issue has an article about Merckx's hour record bike. A past issue had a
definitive history of the first rear deraillieur Campy produced (the 1951
and 52's that show up on rare occasion).
>
> Other issues have had reviews of bikes such as an early 60's Olmo, and
other Tour de France machines.
>
> So - if you love the French bikes OR you Love the Campy bikes this
publication puts it all together. Plus, even if the cool French stuff is on
the periphery of your thoughts, if you love lightweights this publication
will help put together the big picture of vintage lighweight development and
history.

> As a bonus, the photos are of fantastic quality and the production in
general is the best I've seen of any newsletter. Jan has done a great job
and I hope that everyone on the list will help support his good efforts.
