Thanks for posting this juvela.
I still have my battered copy of King of the Road which I purchased shortly after its publication. I was recently prompted to read it again by [MENTION=52734]bibliobob[/MENTION] finding Andrew's long lost Eisentraut and returning it to him.
My copy sits on the shelf next to my old copies of Tom Cuthbertson's Anybodys Bike Book and Jobst Brandt's The Bicycle Wheel. I am grateful to them all for what they have left us.
