Looking for A Copy of: Cycling C.O.N.1. - Central Sports School - Rome 1972
Hi All,
Does anyone have a copy (digital) of the in 1972 published book, Cycling C.O.N.1. by Central Sports School Rome.
Richard P. Talbot is referring too this document in his guide; Designing and Building Your Own Frameset (se) .
I have been looking for this document for quite sometime but with no result, maybe someone here can help me out?
gr,
Clemens

There's a dog-eared copy on eBay bundled with a bunch of old catalogs for a BIN price of $999.00. I think the seller has been smoking some of that funny stuff.

I think originals in good condition have sold for $200. Mine is in really bad condition so I'm keeping it

Yes. It's Part 2, Chapter 5 - Modalities for constructing a frame to measure. It's only nine pages long.
I've uploaded jpeg images of the cover and the nine pages of Part 2, Chapter 5 to Photobucket:
C.O.N.I. Manual Cover
Part 2, Chapter 5, page 01
Part 2, Chapter 5, page 02
Part 2, Chapter 5, page 03
Part 2, Chapter 5, page 04
Part 2, Chapter 5, page 05
Part 2, Chapter 5, page 06
Part 2, Chapter 5, page 07
Part 2, Chapter 5, page 08
Part 2, Chapter 5, page 09
NOTE - In Table 1 on page 3, there are typos in the seat tube column. The number 43.1 should be 53.1, and the number 65.7 should be 56.7...
NOTE 2 - One thing I noticed about Talbot's book is that Table I-A on page 17 is taken directly from the C.O.N.I. manual, but the frame diagram in the C.O.N.I. manual shows the seat tube length as center-to-center (center of crank to centerline of top tube), whereas the frame diagram in Talbot's book shows the seat tube length as center-to-top (center of crank to top of seat lug). Using the seat tube length in Table I-A as the dimension shown in Talbot's frame diagram on page 13 (Figure I-1) would potentially make the seat tube too short.
