Delmapz,
Hi. I don't know of any book like you mentioned. The Chainbreakers Collective I was talking about where I got my bike always has 2-4 real bike mechanics who do or have worked at the LBS. That's the whole point of the Collective. The mechanics volunteer their time and help you fix your bike yourself. Then when your done and have a useable bike you get to keep it. You either pay a nominal fee for it or contribute volunteer hours equal to the time you put into the bike. I could have gotten a Cannondale, Specialized, Trek or several other good name brand bikes. But I really liked the Peugeot because it is exactly the same as the first bike I bought when I graduated from high school. It's the same color and everything. I have learned so much from hanging around CC and met some really great people.
