Saw this at a book sale. Couldn't resist for a $1.

It looks like it just sat in someone's basement. Cover is a little frayed, but pages are perfect.
I can try to scan in specific pages if anyone needs to reference it.
BTW...I figure the young lady riding the Pug UO-8 should be about 60 years old now. Copyright is 1973. First Edition.
Remember hot pants? Wish the pics were in color.

Yes, if someone wants to rebuild a three speed hub, Glenn's is the book. Likewise, it has great diagrams of brakes, shifters, and gear changers of the early '70's.
What I find amazing is the author's assumption that folks are willing to devote hours of labor to rebuild a gear changer or to replace the bearings in a pedal. Everyone I've known who worked on bikes were members of the "throw away the broken pedal" school of thought.

I love the Bicycle Mechanic they use in the photos.
Always wearing an immaculate white lab coat and a neck tie while working on filthy greasy bikes.
Looks like a Mad Scientist to me ... "Its Alive!"
