If anyone out there is compiling a cycling bibliography, here are a few that I think should be included.

Bicycling Science: Ergonomics & Mechanics, Whitt & Wilson, MIT, 1974. Complete Guide to Upgrading your Bicycle, Berto, Rodale, 1988 Bicycle repair & Maintenance, Berstyn, Arco, 1974 Fix Your Bicycle, Jorgensen, Clymer, 1975 Delong's guide to bicycles and bicycling, Delong, Chilton.

These may have already come up in postings I had to skip. Does anyone know of a Bibliographi de Oro?
