Focussing on some of the world's specialist bicycle builders, Custom Bicycles: A Passionate Pursuit showcases through words and pictures some of the amazing results that come from hard work.

Phil Liggett puts it this way, "A bicycle frame builder is no ordinary man. He is a craftsman, an engineer, an artist, and a perfectionist, who through his extraordinary talent has produced a machine that can carry man over the highest mountains, along the narrowest roads, and over huge distances. He has given man the ability to travel under his own power at speeds in excess of 100 kilometres per hour on a machine that seems as slimsy as a balsa wood toy, yet in reality is as strong as a Centurion tank."

The book's introduction explains that each chapter showcases the craftsmanship of the frame builders around the world, and the text draws us into the personal journey that inspired each designer to become a custom bicycle frame builder.

This is a book that will be treasured for many years to come.
