In the early 70s I bought a large (about 11 x 17), light blue cover softback from a bike shop that they called the Cinelli Manual (the actual title was something else, like "Cycling"). It had a sylized drawing of a racer on the front.
It contained detailed instructions for every aspect of training -- the progression of fixed gears to use in the early season, intervals, recording milage, weight, pulse, diet, equipment, everything. It also contained pictures of certain Cinelli items -- the Bivalent (sp?) hub and the early Cinelli clipless pedals.
I loaned it to a friend in the late 70s and never saw it again.
Anyone else have this? Are there copies floating around?
