Hardbound. Condition: Good. 2nd Printing. Description: Well illustrated in black and white. From the jacket blurb: ''Here, for the first time in a single comprehensive and fully illustrated volume, is all the information you need to undertake the complete design and construction of your own frameset -- authoritatively written by a veteran bike racer and amateur bicycle builder who has been through every step of the design-build process himself. Dick Talbot focuses his technical expertise and broad cycling experience on the sometimes bewildering subject of frame building. The result is an illuminating and concise account of the pertinent design principles, skills, and techniques which must be mastered to achieve a roadworthy frameset. Purchasers of professionally built custom bicycles will also benefit from the detailed guidance this book provide for laying out and specifying a frameset geometry that will precisely match their cycling requirements. Even the casual rider will find t his book of value for selecting a ready-built bicycle that will not only 'fit' properly but perform efficiently.''

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Very nice and clean. Text free of highlighting and writing. Tightly bound. Includes index. iii, 162 p. : ill. ; 27 cm. Talbot discusses both theory and practice of building a lugged steel road frame, including building your own jigs. The emphasis is on hand labor, not machine tools -- he assumes you will miter your tube joints by hand with files and scrapers, not stick the tubes in a milling machine. There's an introduction to brazing and materials, too, though it's specifically *not* a beginner's guide to brazing -- Talbot suggests looking for a local vocational school to learn how to braze, since practice is essential. The design considerations apply no matter what construction method you plan to use, so this is still a useful book for the welders out there. 162 pages. Bicycles--Design and construction.
