Bikes: old ones

Put Me Back on My Bike: In Search of Tom Simpson

60's-70's era, although more about the
people and the environment than the bikes. Some
reasonable photos of that era's Peugeots.

But if you are unaware of it, you will be grateful
for the reprinting of " 100 Years of Bicycle Component
and Accessory Design" (aka The Data Book):

and I'd get one before it goes out of print.

Lastly, Frank Berto's book "The Dancing Chain: History
and Development of the Derailleur Bicycle" is one that no
bicycle geek could be truly happy without:
