Guide to Steel Bikes 30 pages, b&w, 1/2 legal (2 oz) $2.00

Guide to Steel Bikes is super educational and interesting. It's everything you might want to know about the history of steel frames and why they're great. Cool diagrams and explanations of various processes for making steel frames like forging, investment casting, and stamped steel parts. Just tons of clip art depicting different frame types, bottom bracket types, different cranksets and hubs. There's even a short history of the Suntour, a bike you've probably had at one time or maybe you just wondered why they were everywhere. Here's where you'll finally find the answer. Guide to Steel Bikes is cut and paste eye-candy for bike nerds!

 
this was compiled in 1994 i do believe, but fortunately bikes haven't changed too much. and, the knowledge one can gain from this zine beyond useful to anyone entering, existing, or just curious about bike culture and/or reducing their carbon footprint. the zine is completely gorgeous as well. kga
