    Description

    I picked this up second hand in Italy 15 or so years ago.  Time to pass it on to somebody else to enjoy.  I believe it is for either the 2000 or 2001 year since next to the rider pictures it notes the 2000 year.  This does have somebody's signed name in the book along with some other writing....I have no idea who this person is or if it is the name of the person it was originally given to or the name of somebody connected with Colnago.  That is the only writing in the book.  Definitely NO smoke or musty smells.
    Most of the pages are spiral bound.  When opening the book, inside the left cover is a 40 page "company profile"   These pages  are not spiral bound. Pictures of the factory and information on manufacturing process and riders over the years with text in multiple languages including English.
    The spiral bound section has pages that fold out to show frame pictures.  All pages are of a heavier stock paper.  Some dents and bent edges.
    Nice glossy full page pics of the following riders in action:
    Michele Bartoli
    Tom Steels
    Johan Museeuw
    Oscar Freire Gomez
    Paulo Bettini
    Axel Merckx
    Erik Dekker
    Markus Zberg...note there is a page crease on the outer edge of his picture
    Leon Van Bon
    Fred Rodriguez
    Pavel Tonkov
    Michael Boogerd
    Stefano Zanini
    The outside of the book cover (which is a heavier material than paperback) does have significant bent edges and some other edge creases/dents (esp. top back edge which carries over to last page) but other than this edge wear no major scuffs on covers.
    Will only ship in USA. Shipped in cardboard box for protection.  I do not believe this qualifies for Media mail so shipping is Priority Mail which includes insurance.
