I'm and old man wanting to build some customized bikes - This site provides great info and inspiration - Can anyone recommend one good book on basic bike repair - I'm starting with no real knowledge of the mechanics of bikes - The local bike shop owner is a great guy but I don't want to bother him anymore than necessary - Thanks - DB

Glenn's is definitely the bible of repairs! I also picked up a cool book on building Kustom bikes called "Atomic Zombie's Bicycle Builder's Bonanza", by Brad Graham and Kathy McGowan. It has a LOT of great info on welding, and many cool ideas! ~Adam
ditto the Glenn's. i picked up a copy at the library after seeing it suggested here and just successfully cleaned and repacked a coaster hub using that book for instruction.
