Customer Reviews

my opinion

Great nostalgic book on the top builders of the late 70's. Things were simpler then and book doesn't go into too much detail but is a good read.

Excellent resource for the vintage lightweight bicycle buff

This 20 year old book has rather usual advice for fitting & buying a racing style bike, much of which is now seriously outdated, but what is uniquely valuable are the interviews & visits with famous bike builders in four countries. Sante Pogliaghi, Jack Taylor, and others, all dead now and collectible as examples of a bygone age of fine handmade cycle artisans. No other publication has done this and this book is a great resource and testimonial.
