The Dancing Chain
Well, about a month ago I went on line and suggested to my library system that they should get this book so that I and the other patrons could read it. I picked it up this morning and am just wallowing in big foaming buckets of cyclo-geek joy. This is GOOD. Frank knows this stuff and is happy to show you too. Dig it. Ron |

Guys, from 1970 until 1980, every issue of Bicycling! magazine was like a Chapter of the "Dancing Chain". That was, until, Rodevil Press bought that magazine and sucked the life out of it in one short decade. - Don Gillies San Diego, CA |

Ron Sounds almost like the library system here in Sorrysota, I have been waiting for over a month for "The Recumbent Bicycle" to come in from some other library. Ken |

Ken As a rare-ish book, buying it online and selling it one library rental period later would be well worth it... Amazon itself has the lowest price available. It would become a coffee table book for me though. -- Phil, Squid-in-Training |

That was, until, Rodevil Press bought that magazine and sucked the life out of it in one short decade. Although I got pretty tired of the endless gear permutations, half-step plus granny and what you could do with a Huret Duopar derailleur. I refused to keep a gear chart on my stem. At least it was real bicycle magazine and not the POS of today. BTW, I cancelled my subscription almost two years ago, and it is STILL coming. I bet they have to keep the subscription numbers up to sell advertising. -- Jay Beattie. |

Berto's "Dancing Chain" goes for about $34 plus shipping, but Amazon has free shipping at that price: http://www.bookfinder.com Carl Fogel |
