COPPI’S BICYCLES
The recovered treasures of Pinella de Grandi and the true story of the bicycles of Il Campionissimo
by PAOLO AMADORI, PAOLO TULLINI
Description
Much has been written about Fausto Coppi, both
as a racer and as a man, and about his exploits and
death. But very little is known about his highly personal
relationship with racing bicycles. The fruit of
passionate research and of an unexpected find – the
Bianchi racing team’s production registers, which belonged
to Pinella di Grandi, the legendary mechanic
of Il Campionissimo – this book gives the spotlight to
the track and road bicycles that Coppi used throughout
his career.

Amadori and Tullini are the two Indiana Joneses of the bicycles that belonged to the unforgettable Fausto. The story of his bikes is worthy of a James Bond movie.
