Customer comments on this selection.
 If you know nothing, its a start
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.
 Could have been much better.....
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.
 A bad way to spend bucks
I have read this book only once time, it tooks me about 1 hour, It is very basic, have not any important info, else that you can get from a free catalog
save the trees
THEAIR were some good info like what rake and strech was and diffrent metals other then that it was a no-brainer with about as much excitment as picking the lint out of your belly button
Ultimate V-Twin Chassis
I have been contemplating building my dream bike and picked up this book to learn more on about the chassis of a bike. This book provides some good basic information, namely the different manufacturers. However, I think it could have went into more detail on things like the geometry of the frame or effects of swing arm length. In alot of instances, instead of going into detail the writer points you towards your local shop for info. There were plenty of pictures but overall not much text. It felt like a lot of the pictures where there just to make the book longer.
