I have now reformed the bike business into a
DIY workshop. Hopefully this won't mean all the gear disappear or get abused first thing... Here is a postcard from the hight of its glory. Note the sawhorse, the train in the background, and the down jacket from the port door - the down jacket, which isn't needed when doing that... http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/work-...oasen-wood.jpg HNY! -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

Thanks for the link to the Park Tool "big blue" books. I have found their website to be reliable and extremely helpful, so I would expect the book to also be very good. And this discussion reminds me that in the 1980's I bought Eugene Sloane's "Bicycle Maintenance Manual" and "The All New Complete Book of Bicycling". And later there was Brank Berto's "Upgrading Your Bike". Times have changed... Ned |

One of my "favorite" passages was him explaining that some wheels and tires were labeled 700C because they were 700 centimeters in diameter. (!) I enjoyed Fred DeLong's books and articles. I think he was the first bicycling engineer I came across. And Frank Berto was wonderful. -- - Frank Krygowski |

Although it is a decent book I was not impressed; all basic stuff. A book can't possibly keep up with all the new developments, brands and types of all bike parts. You have to go online for that. Half a year ago I build a bike for a friend from scratch with the new Dura Ace gruppo. All went well until the adjustment of the front derailleur. WTF??? was that. The annoying thing is/was that there was no instruction in the box. They expect you to go online for that. Unfortunately Shimano, Campagnolo ab SRAM gave all terrible websites. Lou |

Sorry to disappoint you but the only question I get is "Do you have an X?" That said, we do have a small bookshelf! Not just bike books but also a few on carpentry and other practical fields.
