Customer Reviews

If you own a bicycle - GET THIS BOOK!

Despite the current age of the book, this is still a must have book. In my collection of books (too big to mention... heh) this is one that I have retained year after year after year. The book covers the ten-speed bicycle section by section for the first nine chapters: Frames, Brakes, Handlebars/Stems, Saddles/Seatposts, Drive Chain, Pedals, Derailleurs, Wheels, and finally Tires. Then the next five chapters are on riding: Clothing, Touring Equipment, Bicycle Accessories, Setting Up Your New Bicycle, and Basic Riding Practices. This book is easy to read, but chock full of information. It contains a plethora of photos to help you do the right thing. The book has an excellent mix of technical diagrams, charts, and photos - with more photos than anything other than text. If you find this book on the shelf, purchase it right away! You won't regret it.
