Description
Description
This is an amazing depiction of the history of the bicycle, all the way from it's roots as a Velocipede in the 1800's to today's top racing bikes. Lots of full color pictures, unique stories, and histories of great racers. A must-read for all bike enthusiasts.
It features a forward by Lance Armstrong, but that's the least important part of this book. And surprisingly enough, there's racers in this book who used more drugs than Lance!
Condition: Mint, read once. This was a library book and features library cards on the inside covers showing it had never been checked out. Minus the library cards it looks like a brand new book.

I'm always buying high end bikes, parts, accessories, memorabilia, etc. While I'm particularly seeking large piles of new old stock parts, used items in nice condition are welcome.
