    "Most books like this are page after page of charts and graphs. This book has some of that, but mostly it has really helpful information and building tips."
    " Some of the welding projects make good reading. The bike I built from aluminum without welding makes good riding."
    "I paid good money for a bike that didn't do anywhere near what they claimed it would do. I wish I had read this book before buying."
