Cinelli: The Art and Design of the Bicycle

Posted on November 1, 2012 by PavedStaff

We like books. We especially like books about bicycles. Hard-bound? Even better.

At Paved, the coffee table is a sacred place reserved for only our most treasured tomes (well, aside from also being the place where we put our feet up while guiltily watching an episode of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo). But, we’re pretty sure we could find some room for Cinelli: The Art and Design of the Bicycle. Devoted to the classic style and design Cinelli has embodied throughout the years, the books 300-plus pages promise to be filled with plenty of eye candy.

Cinelli: The Art and Design of the Bicycle

by Lodovico Pignatti Morano
