I might be late to the party but if you haven’t seen these yet they are worth a watch. Dedicated episodes on Bianchi, Cinelli, Faggin, Pegoretti, and more. The Cinelli and Bianchi ones are really interesting!

Yeah, they don't list the Bianchi ones. (Italian with English subtitles.)

So cool. Episode 1 has the 2 authors of The Bikes of Coppi.

The Bianchi Tour de France was only made until 1952 with 4mm dropouts. 1953 it changed to the CdM with 3mm dropouts.

Didn't know about this, but I'm a look into it.

Perhaps of interest to others, NBCSN is re-broadcasting stages from various races this week. About three stages per day.

I'll check it out. The subtitles on "Italian Masters" are a little taxing, and I wish they had more period pictures, but the interviews are interesting.
