Good Information

This book has some good information for those who wish to add a little extra shine to the bling on their bike. It could have been more in depth but it is helpful and nicely presented. Plenty of photos and illustrations let you easily grasp the concepts presented here.

Even if you don't plan on doing the work yourself, this book will help you find the right shop to do the work.
