Item #UB-TRIKE: This is considered one of the most comprehensive engineering treatises on the bicycle -- and it was written in 1896. But in 1896, many of the best engineering minds on the planet were working on the bicycle. Some of the information here may be quaint and nostalgic, but most of it is still up-to-date and vital. And the engineering is first-rate. Whenever we see the bike industry come up with a "revolutionary new" design, we can usually find it described in this book. Softcover.
