1965 Cinelli: Cover for Bicycle Quarterly 2013 Calendar

A 1965 Supercorsa, as built up by the legendary Spence Wolf of the Cupertino Bike Shop, graces the front of a new calendar being offered by Bicycle Quarterly for 2013. The "Classic Bicycles: calendar featuring studio photos of thirteen classic bicycles.

Other racing bikes include Eddy Merckx’ winning machine, Francesco Moser’s hour record bike, and René Vietto’s aluminum Barra. The calendar also features a motorpaced stayer bike, an American six-day racer, and the bike of the first female U.S. champion from 1936. Admirers of cyclotouring bikes will enjoy machines from René Herse, Alex Singer, Camille Daudon and Goéland, as well as the amazing 1930s Schulz.

Most of the photos have been published in the books The Golden Age of Handbuilt Bicycles and The Competition Bicycle, but now you can admire them on your wall as you plan your year. Detail views and historic photos of the featured bikes, as well as brief captions, complete the calendar.

Priced at $ 14. Quantities are limited. For more information or to order your calendar, click here.
