Ten speed tech manual! Coverage of bicycles from a by-gone era.

If you still own any ("English Racer" or "10 speed) bicycles, then this book is for you!

Does not & will not directly apply to modern bicycles, however is still a very good reference for beginer bicycle mechanics & curious onlookers into the inner workings of this amazing invention!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Revised, November 24, 2009

This review is from: Glenn's New Complete Bicycle Manual (Paperback)

While some may be of the opinion Glenn's New Complete Bicycle Manual is outdated--that it is not. Yes it does not contain the latest technology considering it was published in 1987. However, this book is a classic. After borrowing the library copy too many times, I purchased a copy.

I used this book to repair my modern day cruiser and an old 1960s Schwinn 3 speed I came across at a garage sale, that the local bike shop could not repair. The photos are excellent and the information sufficient. This edition contains the same information as the first edition with additional information as well as updated information--so this is a classic revised.

I found the descriptions in Glenn's better than several of the "modern" or recent bicycle repair publications which tend to gloss over the topics.

For anyone learning about bicycle repair or the weekend warrior attempting an overhaul of the common bicycle this book is a useful addition to your library.
