Title: The perfect machine
Authors: Gio Well, Adriano Maccarani
Publisher: The assayer
Written by the "boys" Orcocicli (http://www.orcocicli.com/Lingua. html), this book is both a valid user base for the restoration and maintenance of bicycles, is a nice resource of anecdotes and "crazy facts" concerning the world of cycling. The authors are from the world of Ciclofficina popular, so they are rightly very focused on recycling of old bikes that have not yet had their day, but at the same time are very sensitive to innovations such as various sequential internal changes to the hub that are being developed lately.
very critical of the fixed gear for urban use, dismiss him as a phenomenon of "fashion" that must be endured until they pass. That is a trend I can agree with them, that has lost its original spirit (for other than me ever lived) of rehabilitation of old frames to spend less and have low maintenance I join in full, but I did not feel like saying that all this is bad. In the end we set so we have fun ...
Very funny section on the various versions of the bike more or less extinct: the airplane, the submarine, the ride in reverse. All things that I did not know and that I was very fascinated. Minimal but useful all the information on the installation of both pieces with which we interact almost daily, and pieces that tend to touch each other once and then nothing.
Well, I was already aware, but this book has really convinced that the fork is the perfect machine (and excuse the rhyme).
Future reviews: Minimum
Pedals
Three men cycling
Small manual ciclosofia
Muhammad on the road (which has nothing to do with the bike)
Stay tuned
