That reminds me. It's All About the Bike by Robert Penn, a fascinating discussion of bikes and components and history and the author's effort to build the ideal custom bike. As he admits, he is being a bit cheeky to run counter to Mr. A but since the bike is the essential ingredient for cycling is really is about the bike after all. Marvelous little book.
