The most important ten cars in the history of road bikes

The most important ten cars in the history of road bikes

Over the past few decades, cycling has never stopped innovating in terms of equipment. We've handpicked 10 symbolic road bikes that have arguably changed the way we look at bike design, and even the sport of cycling.

1. Legnano Team Edition Bicycle (1948) Star Owner: Gino Bartali

In 1940, Campagnolo introduced the Cambio Corsa shifting system. The bikes used by riders prior to this had no shifting system, and the only way to shift was to change one's rear wheel - that is, to change the size of the flywheel. In 1948, Batali, pictured below, won the Tour de France with the Cambio Corsa.

The derailleur on the chain acts on the upper part of the chain, above the rear fork, which means that in order to shift successfully, the rider has to reverse the pedals during the shift. Once the shifting was complete, the rider could resume forward pedaling and apply tension to the chain. Although the shifting system seemed relatively simple at the time, this revolutionary kit was still a masterpiece of engineering.

2. TI-Raleigh Team Edition Bike (1980)

Star owner: Joop Zoetemelk

Raleigh started the professional team in 1972, eager to win the Tour de France. Under Peter Post's strong control of the pro scene, the Ti-Raleigh became the most efficient bike in the main bunch, outperforming the others in almost every way, and in 1980, Chautauqua gave the Nottingham-based marque its yellow jersey. To this day, Raleigh remains the only British bike brand to have won the Tour de France overall.
