Our most importanl new bicycle development fo l978 is our recenlappointment as lhe U.S, exciusive catalog represenlalive ol the world'sNumber One racing bicycle, Ernesto Colnago.Signor Colnago was building handmade custom racing cycles for aboutlwenty years at his small lactory near Milano, when a young man fromBelgium caught the world racing communily by su.prise. The racer wasEddy Merckx and the designey/builder wilh him during so many Europeantriumphs and lhe one-hour record in Mexico was Ernesto Colnago. As aresult ol his enduring dedication to winning racing, Colnago bicycles arein use by more winning racers than any other make in the world today.Even many more ol the lamous winners of mass-producer-brand teams aroalso riding Colnagos with painl and decal disguises of their sponsor's0rand,The entire operation is 1000/o devoted lo racing bicycles ol every possiblelype and design. There's no retail slore, no touring models, no stripped-down cheapie model; nothing to disrupl lhe goal ot remaining number onein lhe world of racing.Like a pure extra bonus, Colnago bicycles look as good as they perlorm.In spite of the tacl that a builder as lamous as Colnago could get away$.ith cutting corners on appearance details, lhese lrames reveal the highestdeEree of painstaking linishing detail.All lubes are milered and pre-fitled wiih hand-placed pins in lhe lugsand tubes before being silver soldered. The pins are visible in thebotlom bracket. This assures flawless alignment wilhout cold-selting.While it 's possible to make a good frame with simpler methods, Colnagobelieves that perfeclion cannot be achieved in the presence of com-promising techniques. Ernesto personally supervises every phase otDroduction. all of which is done under one rool. There is no detailwhich escapes his atlention.

Price(Or: A lesson in international economics)In 1977 we charged $209.88 for the Allegroas a special low introductory price. Since1/1/77, the Swiss Franc-the curroncy wemust purchase to pay for our bikes-rose42.5olo against our weak dollar. That wouldtranslate inlo $3OO.O0 today just for the saft€bike. Therefore, at $299.00, this bike is aneven bettgr bargain than it was last year.Ngw the Allegro teatures better and moreexpensive Cinel l i crown; cut out lugs; bottombracket; and better painting andworkmanship. $2gg.00

As lhe mosl personal item in our catalog, clothingalways receives our most crilical scruliny. For 1978, wewanled to take all the guesswork and worry out of mailordering clothing. The approach was simple-give youthe besl quality, besl known brand in the world-Sergalot Milano, ltaly. Unlike mosl ol the other catalogsrthich promole private label or oll-brand clothes, werccognize thal famous brands like Sergal in clothing,Colnago, Allegro, Bob Jackson in bicycles and so lorthlre the cuslomer's best chance of being satistied. Oldlimers need no introduction to Sergal, Newerrlicionados will be pleased lo learn that Sergal has,een making cycle clothing for over 40 years and hast.obably supplied more famous racers than any otherailo.. The clothing on these pages is nol the cheapeslfou can buy but ii is the best.

sabrics:\lter selling thousands of garmenls over the years, werave concluded that the most sensible and popularihirl labric for cycling is pure, sott virgin wool. Wool ishe only fabric with a '\|/icking action" which mainlains,ody comlort by moving heal and moisture away lromhe body inlo the atmosphere. In cold temperatures,ool wicks away sweat without an undesirable loss of

leat. Unlike acrylic and polyester which do not releasereat and moislure, woot never leels hol and clammy.:or lhose who worry lhat wool might leel "itchy" youusl have nol experienced the incyedibly sofl anduxurious Sergal wool. Remember, natural tibres likeuool are stil l the world's standard lor quality and thats why they are the mosl expensive. These are theeasons why all ol our Sergal road jerseys are lhe veryrighest grade 100% pure virgin wool. The fabrics are(nilted in these atlractive styles right in the Sergalaclory on sophislicated tubular knitting machines. Thelillerenl colors are knitted, rather than palchedogether. The spectacular, modern new styles and:olors were designed exclusively for us. During theasl lew years, many new companies have introduced)ycle cloihing but only Se.gal remains the consumer'sluide io lhe besl. We ulge you lo compare our low'rices lo those of competitive brands. Then you willealize what a value-packed selection we offer.

Eclipse bicycle packs for 19781976 was the first year weoffered Eclipse packs in ourcatalog. The consumer responsewas incredible as the brandbecame our top seller almostimmediately. The Eclipsedesigners deserve a lot of creditbecause unlike all the other bagmakers, they started from"scratch" and copied nobody.The attention to minute detailand perfection is unlike anything

we have seen before and theresult was zero defects for 1976.With all the other bags we havesold, many customers havewritten to. us about their ideasfor changes but this is not thecase with Ecliose. We workclosely with Eclipse to remainwell informed and well stockedthroughout the model year soyou are.assured of fast delivery.

Eclipse Slide Mount System on allEclipse PanniersHere's why we advertise Eclipse as the "State ofthe Art"Upper Afiachmenl

All Eclipse panniers attach to a rack by means ol an eight inchlong labric encas€d lightweight liberglass rod which is securelyand permanently attached at the top of each pannier. This rodexactly corresponds to a tubular "lemale" fitting made oflightweight extruded aluminum which attaches easily and securelyto any existing bike rack, or is an integrated part ol therevolutionary nsw Eclrpse Rack (soe rack section for lurther details)which is available from us for 524.95.

Once lhe rods are in place in their channels (pholo ),thepanniers are prevented lrom shifting by means ol2 durable steelsnaps- Thus, the pannier is supported over the entire 8" length oflh€ rod. This method is lar superior to other designs in whach thepannior's onliie weight is supported at one or two small hooks.

attachment however the new EcliDse rack has a short horizontalrod which corresponds to a webbing receptacle located at lhebottom of all panniers. lt b€comes €ngaged at the same time thatthe pannier is inserted into the top support channel- One quickeasy operation. No moving parts. nothing to go wrong,

Th€ unique wedge shape lits neatly into the rear geometry ol thebicycl6. Th€ c€nt6r of gravity is lower, thus increasing stability.Protruding lower corners can't get into the spokes because theyhave been elininat€d.

All panniers uso lhe new polyproyleno stifleners for addedrigidity. lt's also removable so thal the bags can be laundored. Butsince most brands have some kind of stiftener you mighl ask,what's lhe big deal. Well, this stiffener is just like the corrugatedboard us€d in boxes. lt b€nds on tho vertical. but not thohorizonatal plane. Th€reto.e, if you ard carrying one pack on your'back,

the stiflener will comfortably conform to the contour of yourbody. And, unlike metal which has sharp edges, this stiffenercannot cut the nylon in the pack. Best of all, it's virtuallyweightless.

All panniers have double sewn or bartack€d reinforcements at allstress and abrasion points.

All YKK coil zippers are covered for proteclion lrom moisture andabrasion. Every zipper has two sliders tor extra accessability andzipper ends are double statched and protected by a double layerflap.

A handle is built into lie top oJ each pack so the packs can b6 snappsdrogothgr and carried rik6 a suitoase when they are ofl the bike. or sither packprck can be dismountsd and caiiied s€paralely. In addition, two D rings arelitt€d to the lop ol €ach pack lor lashing down cargo catried on lop ol thersck.

Clincher TiresHere's one ol the international specilicalion messes which

. has been cleardd up: The lollowing intormation should beread in coniunclion with the introduction to rims. Astandardiialion commitiee called the Europeah Tire and RimTechnical Organization (ETRTO) has prepared a simptif iedsyslem ot l ire designations.
