Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Simple, yet detailed explanations
The tone and vocabulary with which the author writes is very understandable and down to earth for people that are not used to talking about bike (re)construction, yet there is plenty of technical concepts being described.
There are atleast half a dozen individual bike plans in this book, along with some background info on welding and taking a bike apart.
This book is also well regarded in the recumbent bike building forums.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Bathroom material
It's well written, but the bicycle designs are horrible. I was expecting more of an overview on classic bike building. It's more about taking junk bikes, and turning them into crazy designs that are inferior. This would be great for junior high, or high school kids.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great Book, lots of fun projects
Really fun book. Full of projects and enough information to get you started on them. My only warning: The book won't really teach you to weld, and you won't be able to do any of the projects if you can't weld.





Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Maybe for Sanford and Son
It's a fun book but I had higher expectations hoping it would bring bicycling to the level of Jesse James and choppers. But it's nothing more than welding scrap (crap) together.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book for the hobbiest!
Fantastic book!! It has a permenent home on the coffie table. I'm already collecting enough old bikes to urk the misses! The book is realy worth the money and you'll read it all the way through in the first sitting, I did!I hope there's a second edition in the works too!!!
