It's a fascinating read, if a bit heavy going - full of 'moments', 'vectors' and formulae, but also some very illuminating diagrams. After 40 years of riding, I finally understand the mechanism by which trail and castor work! No doubt I shall be quoting it at length and boring everyone on the forum in future posts! |
I had one of his frames on a road bike, it was really for a 750/4 but fitted the 500/4 nicely. It was much nicer to ride than the pressed steel spine original. That was a few years ago!
