Rating: Summary: Worth it for a beginner... Review: I'll admit that I'm caught up in the current Chopper craze and at some point would like to build my own motorcycle. However, I think I'd best start with a bicycle. I had some ideas on how to build one but this book has some really good points and have me a lot of ideas on how to use and get scrap parts to build a bike of my own. I'm currently in the middle of my first custom build and this book really jump started the process.
Rating: Summary: A fantastic source of both inspiration and practical info... Review: I'm a bike shop owner (mostly BMX) over here in sunny (?!) England and this book has really inspired me to finally get off my lazy behind and build something. I wasn't short of inspiration about WHAT to build, there just always seems to be something else that needs doing. I have a nice collection of donor machinery and of course, there's no shortage of components and tools. I have no excuse really!Anyway, this is an extemely well written and inspiring book. I can honestly say that it's the most engaging bike-related book I own (and I own a LOT of bike books!). The only problem I have now is that I'm looking around at the display bikes in the shop and visualising where I should cut them to obtain the most useful bits! Better sit down for a while and remind myself of what pays the bills!
Rating: Summary: Excellent book! Review: I've been waiting all year for this book to come out ever since Brad posted on his web site that he was working on it. This is the best how-to book I've read. I've already made my own chopper and now working on my own version of the Marauder. I can't believe how many pictures there are! It's a must for everyone who likes to build something different and so easy to follow. Looking forward to their next book on building All-Terrain Robots. Congrats to the authors for a job well done and keep up the great books!
Rating: Summary: Atomic Zombie rules! Review: I've been waiting all year for this book to come out. It's the best and only one of its kind out there and it's so easy to follow. This is a must for everyone who likes to build their own bikes. It's amazing how many projects are in it. Kudos to Brad and Kathy for making such a great book! The pictures are so clear. It's about time that someone made a book for all of us who are into making and riding human powered vehicles (HPV). Thanks on behalf of all of who belong to HPV clubs. I'm collecting parts to make my own Marauder.I'll let you know how it goes. When's the next one coming out? Congrats on an excellent job! I'm already looking forward to the next one.
Rating: Summary: I really enjoyed this book -I would rather have built a bike Review: If you are thinking about buying an unusual bike, buy this book first and you may decide to build it instead. There a several types described and this will get your creative juices flowing. I particularly like the Spincycle!
Rating: Summary: dude Review: It's like the anarchist's cook book, but for bicycles. See Ya on the Playa.
Rating: Summary: Not just another bicycle book!! Review: Just like Neo said when Morpheus jumped to the other rooftop... Woa. That's about all I can say! This guy builds machines like Jesse James - but without the undless supply of tools and freebies! You want to build a RAD bike? If so, read this book. 12FootDrop
Rating: Summary: The Best!!! Review: Ok, let's make this quick... If you want to build a fast, cool, fun, or crazy bike then just get this book!!! I mean it, get this book! RSams
Rating: Summary: Zoinks Scoob! Review: Ok, this book has the phatest bikes and trikes I have ever seen! The chopper with the 4 foot long forks is dah best. One day when I have the parts, I am going to make the lowracer project - the one that can pass cars in city traffic. Check out this guy's website, especially the bikes section. http://www.atomiczombie.com Choppers rule! Alex
Rating: Summary: Right on! Review: The good things.... More than 15 awesome bike and trike projects jammed full of new ideas and inovative solutions. The marauder lowracer is the bomb! The bad things.... I want more!!!!! I hope they do a second book! Joe
