The Vintage Bianchi Book

We are super excited to announce the global launch of the first edition of The Vintage Bianchi Book, the new bible for vintage cycling enthusiasts and Bianchi collectors, which will take place on Wednesday, October 8th at 15:00 CET.

The best book for vintage cycling enthusiasts and Bianchi collectors, dedicated to the evolution of Bianchi’s top-end racing bicycles from 1920 to 1990. This First Edition has been printed in only 999 copies, it is truly special and offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of cycling history. In the same book you will find English, Italian and German!

Seven decades of innovation, documenting how frames, components, and technology, most notably the pioneering work of Campagnolo, shaped the bicycles that defined an era. From standard production models to extraordinary frames from the Reparto Corse, the book presents 40 iconic bicycles, once ridden by champions such as Fausto Coppi, Felice Gimondi, and Rudi Altig, alongside rare memorabilia. All top models such as: Bianchi Model M, Bianchi Saetta, Bianchi Folgore, Bianchi Folgorissima, Bianchi Paris Roubaix, Bianchi Tour de France, Bianchi Campione del Mondo, Bianchi Specialissima, Bianchi Barcellona, Bianchi Super Corsa, Bianchi Superleggera, Bianchi X3, Bianchi X4, Bianchi Centenario and Bianchi Proto... and many more special Reparto Corse Bikes! Every bicycle comes from the private collection of Carsten Rademacher, whose dedication has created one of the most complete Bianchi collections in the world. Photographed with precision and artistry by Dirk Rademacher, the book captures details often inaccessible, offering readers a technical view.
