Mystery Book

Hi all,

Just saw a book in a New York City clothing store a few days ago, but i can't find it anywhere. even more confounding is the fact that I work in a book store! It had a De Rosa built Merckx racer on the cover and was called something like "Vintage Performance Bicycles". It was maybe 12" x 10" and had great photographs of classic road racers. I didn't have a chance to really look, since I was with my fiancee's parents! Someone must know this book...

Thanks,

Brian
