Knowing that some listmembers are only marginally interested in French cyclotouring, randonneuring and some of the other topics covered in Vintage Bicycle Quarterly, I have decided to offer a "CR Special" for "Campyholics:"
For the price of a one-year subscription, you get instead the following issues:
Vol. 2, No. 2 with the history of the first Campagnolo Gran Sport derailleur, including all the detail changes during the first years until the production version, photos and Rebour drawings of each version, etc. 1951 Tour de France, the first won by a Campagnolo Gran Sport-equipped derailleur (with Rebour drawings). Plus a top-of-the-line René Herse from 1974 with Campy, Huret Jubilee and more.
Vol. 2, No. 4: 1961 Olmo De Luxe, with full Campy, including the Brooks "Campagnolo" saddle and special seatpost, raised-lip cranks, "No Record" hubs and more, all original. The Tour de France 1963, with Rebour drawings of the winning bikes. The life story of Daniel Rebour with photos from his personal album. Maxi-Car history and more.
Vol. 3, No. 2: Eddy Merckx' hour record bike (photos and Rebour drawings), José Meiffret, with his 130-tooth chainring-bike drafting a Mercedes 300SL Gullwing at 125 mph, the rarest first René Herse catalog reprint, etc.
and the upcoming Spring 2005 issue. Each issue contains more articles than listed above. For a complete listing, go to the VBQ web site and check "Contents of Previous Issues."
To take advantage of this offer, send $ 30 to the address in the signature with a note on the check "CR Special," or use PayPal at
