Picked up the 04 issue at the newsstand yesterday. Interesting long article on Coppi. Interview / report on a conversation with Valentino.
Must have been a stressful time for Valentino in the 80's. He (I will admit this is might be through a translator) got the timeline of SIS, integrated shifting/braking controls kind of way out of sequence. Too bad the interviewer did not know the history of the company better, did not do their homework or was too polite to push for the interesting questions.
So much more could have been told of the return of the company from the dark days of the 80's. It would have shown how every decision was life or death for a while.
Anyone else read this?
Happy the magazine is here, but I don't think it will GO.
