内容説明
As Leica is to cameras and Ferrari to racing automobiles, Campagnolo is to cycling: designer of the finest parts for bicycles ever made. Campagnolo's jewel-like brakes, pedals, derailleurs, cranksets, and wheels have been ridden to more race victories than any other brand, yet the same components are available to cycling enthusiasts worldwide. "Campagnolo: 75 Years of Cycling Passion" is a celebration of this legacy that will be cherished by every cycling fan.Campagnolo's rich history began with the founder, Tullio Campagnolo, a racer who turned to creating better bicycle parts when he found the equipment of the day not adequate for the rigours of professional competition. Blending exotic alloys with sound engineering, Campagnolo created a series of patented designs that are still in use today as the fundamental standards upon which modern parts are based.With its deeply researched history (much of it from the company's private archives), spectacular colour photography, rich text and lavish presentation, "Campagnolo: 75 Years of Cycling Passion" is a book for every lover of the sport of cycling, as well as connoisseurs of the bicycle itself.This book features colour and black-and-white photos and illustrations throughout. It comes in a hardback with jacket.

Just Awful!
2009/4/28
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
As good as "Paris-Roubaix: A Journey Through Hell" is, this book is bad. Indeed, the ONLY recommendation I can offer about the book is that the layout/graphic design is competent. Every other aspect -- photography, product selection, content, tone, writing -- is pitiful. As a Campagnolo aficionado, I suggest that if this book had been subject to the same quality evaluation as the namesake components, it would have been deemed fit only to paper a shop floor. Written more like an English-as-a-second-language press release by an Intern, there's endless laudatory puffery about "the genius of Campagnolo" at the expense of meat and potatoes information about the storied products. There haven't been that many generations of groups. Omitting detailed pictures and descriptions of them is unforgivable.
High-end bike components are BEAUTIFUL. They are FUNCTIONAL ART. This book is not not bike porn. Even the Huret Allvit managed to redeem itself with ball-bearing pulleys. This, absent almost any redeeming qualities, is just plain bad.
...Sigh...

Worth a read if you are a fan of cycling history
2008/11/26
形式:ハードカバー
In conjunction with the manufacturers' 75th Anniversary, Velo Press recently released the book Campagnolo: 75 Years of Cycling Passion. Whether you are a member of the Campy cult, a user of their components or a fan of cycling history, this book is worth a read.
Written by long time Italian cycling journalists Paolo Facchinetti and Guido P. Rubino, the book starts with the birth of the bicycle itself and its growing popularity in Europe, but quickly moves to the fateful Fall 1927 day on the Croce d'Aune when a young racer named Tullio Campagnolo struggled to change the gearing on his racing bike with nearly frozen hands. Out of his frustration came first the quick release axles that we all use today, and eventually, a gear changer that allowed a racer to change gears without dismounting the bike.
Tullio Campagnolo grew up poor, but was fortunate to grow up in a home where he had access to files, pliers, anvils, vise grips and hammers, as well as a small blacksmith forge. It was there that he learned the skills that would serve him in prototyping, building and improving bicycle components.
The first quick release appeared in 1930, and Campagnolo filed the first of his 185 patents for a system he called "gearing for cycling." He attended as many races as he could, showing his quick release and gearing system to racers and mechanics alike and listening, improving and promoting some more.
Along the way, Campagnolo saw his components used by such racing greats as Vito Ortelli, Toni Bevilacqua, Gino Bartali, Fausto Coppi, Fiorenzo Magni, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Greg Lemond, Laurent Fignon, Miguel Indurain, Marco Pantani, Paolo Bettini and Danilo Di Luca, and the Campagnolo name became synonymous with cycling.
The early beginnings and Campagnolo's passion for cycling and for continuous improvement lead us to where we are 75 year later, with the introduction of the new 11-speed Super Record group.
Some Campagnolo cultists have said that there are some notable omissions in this book, but I still found it very entertaining and educational. The illustrations and photography are top notch as well.
If you love cycling, this book should have a place in your library.

Every Campagnolo fan will want this!
2009/1/17
形式:ハードカバー
I looked forward to the release of this book after I saw a copy at a bicycle trade show. They had two copies and I believe one of them was stolen! I waited for mine and it was money well spent. If you're a fan of the components from Vicenza, you'll want this book. A few errors don't tarnish the read for anyone but the fanatic who expected this to be the "Encyclopedia of Campagnolo" complete with Tullio's fingerprints and DNA. My only real complaint is the book was printed in CHINA! I would have gladly paid twice the price for a book printed in ITALY where they still do some of the nicest printing in the world.
