2 out of 5 stars.  Not much content, October 24, 2007
The other two reviewers must have received a different book. The book has one diagram with any dimensions. There are no recommended bearings, axles, headset, or materials. There are no references to the use of modern bicycle components, although my copy was updated in 2005. There is minimal design guidance.

There are lots of high level, exploded components diagrams and some B&W photos of unicycles and "artistic" bicycles. If you are ready to build a unicycle after reading the book, you were ready before reading it.

If you want the type of material which should have been in this book, buy "Atomic Zombie's Bicycle Builder's Bonanza". (For reference, I am a graduate of the two-week Barnett Bicycle Institute bicycle maintenance class and a pretty decent mechanic.)

5 out of 5 stars.  the title says it all, January 7, 2000
Even if you have no prior knowledge of how a bike is assembled, this book contains all you need to get started in assembling that unicycle. If you're experienced in the arts of metal working, and welding, then you're in great shape to begin building or fixing that unicycle or bike. If not, the book still contains enough information to get you on your way.

4 out of 5 stars.  Picturesque, December 1, 1999
Very detailed and picturesque, including materials, processes, and safety. Illustrations make building a unicycle extremely easy. An interesting piece for the bookshelf.
