自転車の書評

Bicycle Builder's Bonanza

Bicycle Builder's Bonanza is a gem.

For anyone who loves bicycles, loves to tinker, this tome offers instruction on how to build a bike.

Sounds like a pipe dream?

All one needs is standard workshop tools - and, Atomic Zombie's Bicycle Builder's Bonanza in hand, you are ready to get started.

There are plans for building choppers, low racers, tallbikes, recumbents, tandems, and more.

Brad Graham's work teaches you how to build them, and has complete with photos and detailed instructions.

There is detailed information on:

* Getting parts for free, or almost free
* High-speed recumbent low racer with hydraulic disc brakes
* A two-headed winter-ready mountain bike
* A bicycle so tall that you have to duck under power lines
* Ultralong fork choppers with loads of attitude
* A rugged all-terrain mountain tandem
* Pedal-powered vehicles that seem to defy the laws of physics
* Customizing details, such as getting a smooth paint job and removing rust from old chrome

Even for an armchair builder, this is a great book.
