The Vintage Bianchi Book

The new bible for vintage cycling enthusiasts and Bianchi collectors, dedicated to the evolution of Bianchi’s top-end racing bicycles from 1920 to 1990. It traces 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. 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 an technical view. Second edition, Softcover (17×24 cm), published in three languages (English, Italian, and German) within the same book. 300 pages with more than 500 photographs. Printed in Italy.
