Kurzbeschreibung
Cycling has never lost its appeal. Alongside mass-produced models, the craftsmanship of bespoke bicycle makers has emerged to satisfy the passion of people who ride bikes as a means of daily transport, as a sport and for recreation. This book by passionate cyclists Christine Elliott and David Jablonka is the product of a world-wide search for the most influential bike makers on the planet. The result is a presentation of a wonderful collection of expertly honed, human-powered machines, built by some of the best and most creative bicycle makers practicing their skill today. It highlights the range of techniques, materials and design elements, and the passion behind producing each custom-made bike by some of the best and most creative bicycle makers in the world. It's guaranteed to take you on the ride of your life. Features a foreword by Phil Liggett, the legendary voice behind the English-language broadcasts of the Tour de France.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
...nicht repräsentativ, aber thematisch weit gefasst, bekommt man hier schöne Custom-Räder aus den USA, Kanada und Europa zu sehen.
Von Bahnrädern über Commuter und MTB bis Rennrad und Zeitfahrmaschine sieht man hier manche Traumräder.
Mancher Rahmenbauer wurde ausgelassen oder hat nicht mitgemacht (?).
Und die ganz neuen Trends finden auch kaum Berücksichtigung.
Manche der Bilder sind allerdings konventionelle Prospektware, da fehlt es ein bisschen.
Schön ist das Buch vor allem wenn man die Typen hinter den Rädern zu sehen bekommt.
Negativ fand ich eigentlich nur die dürftigen bis nicht vorhandenen Bilderklärungen, da wäre mehr möglich gewesen ...
Die Aufmachung ist ordentlich, der Druck sehr manierlich, das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis in Ordnung,
daher kann man das Buch Fahrradfreunden durchaus empfehlen.

images and writing miss the point
14. Juli 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
It's a shame about this book. The Authors have hit on some interesting builders and some not...the book seems to have been put together by people who aren't passionate about bicycles or maybe don't know about what to put into a book for people who are...There are a few satisfying photos, but not many, its mostly artsy detail shots AND NEVER SHOWING YOU THE WHOLE FROM WHICH THE DETAIL WAS TAKEN...which is lame.
The writing also seems to miss, in that the one consistent point (made vaguely) is what music is playing in the builders studios at the time of interview...which could be interesting if there were real content.
At no piont are any specs of bicycles discussed in terms beyond the words steel, carbon fiber, and titanuim...

Beautiful book on beautifully crafted bicycles
19. Mai 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
One of the great features of bicycling is that the bikes themselves can still be made to personal specifications by individual craftspeople or small shops. This book features both well known veterans, and a few newcomers, and shows all types of bikes -- from all-out racers, to touring bikes, to even a few "show" bikes that likely don't get ridden much (e.g., Craig Calfee's bamboo bike with bullhorn handlebars).
There are plenty of "coffee table" type books exploring other crafts -- hand made furniture, pottery, custom motorcycles, etc. -- but as far as I know this is the only widely available recent book showing the current state of the art of custom bike building. Many of these bikes appear to date from early 2008 (several of them were on display at the North American Handbuilt Bicycle Show in Portland in February 2008, and were made about then). And most of the builders are "open for business:" except for two or three who have exceptionally long waiting lists, I think you could contact practically anyone in the book and get your own custom bike in a matter of weeks or months (more likely months than weeks).
A few quibbles - since the photos were collected from a variety of photographers from various sources in Europe, North America and Australia, the photos and layout lack a consistency or point of view about how to show a bike (as opposed to Jan Heine's book, "The Golden Age of Handbuilt Bicycles," which is about historic custom bikes, and which used a single photographer shooting bikes with a consistent, clean white background). As a result, while all the photos are good, in some cases the photos are not as useful as they could be (for example, there are way too many shots of Calfee's novelty bikes and not enough of his standard bamboo or carbon fiber bikes).
Anyway, that is just a quibble. It's a great book for any serious cyclist or anyone who enjoys fine craftsmanship.

"Steer" clear. If you know bikes, your brain will hurt.
8. Januar 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The book stinks. Arbitrary collection of some bikes, some of them lovely, with artful pictures. Writing is terrible. And I mean _poor_. Highschool-bad. As previous reviewer notes, book was created by people who -- clearly -- had no fundamental connection and little familiarity with their subject matter. There is no author insight whatsoever, and builder "insight" is restricted to comments like "Bob takes special pride in fitting the bike to the rider," or "Gary gets goosebumps when he finally brazes the rear triangle." (These are not literal quotes, but)...Yeesh!
I -- and many of the probable (or intended) purchasers of this book could write a far better one.
Further deconstruction and/or constructive criticism is pointless without a solid basis, and this book doesn't provide one.
I don't know who the book is supposed to appeal to. Other reviewers have offered frankly puzzling comments; there is not sufficiently detailed or ample information presented to make this book a "guide" to anything beyond where to put a mug on a coffee table.
