Jan Heine, publisher of the famous Bicycle Quarterly, has put together a book celebrating bicycles meant for racing.  To quote from the book's website, the book features bicycles ranging: "from a rare 1890s racing High Wheeler to Tony Rominger's 1994 hour record bike. In between are 32 carefully selected bicycles. Most are the actual, unrestored machines ridden by the great champions. These bikes tell their stories through sweat-stained handlebar tape and well-worn saddles. Each bicycle represents a milestone in the history of cycling competition, as well as in the development of cycling technology."

Jacquie Phelan's Otto was one of the bikes featured in The Competion Bicycle.  It is an excellent addition since Otto may have the longest lifespan of any elite-level competion machine having been raced more than nine seasons.
