If you are like me, and have never built a chopper, only riden rice burners, it has good information. Perhaps, I could have gotten all of this knowledge from the internet, but I wanted a place to start. That's what this book is, a start. You could probably sum the book up in 20 pages and saved some trees, but the book in whole was worth the 13 or so dollars I spent on it.

Pretty pictures, but in all a very shallow book about the basics of creating a bike by bolting together purchased componenents. Just one page devoted to discussing trail, and only a vague sentence or two on how it effects handling. Then, a complete chapter on how a pro shop fabricates a frame. Interesting, but anyone with the ability to actually make a frame won't be impressed by the knowledge presented, and anyone without the ability will be no closer to it by reading. The book seems thrown together; too much info here, not nearly enough there.
