If you wanted to lean about unusual bikes, all you have to do is turn to page 92 and see what Marcel Danek writes about custom-built bikes, and then you can read how some handy bike fanatics create new vehicles from old ones.
There are unusual bikes, fully manufactured from wood, including the saddle, basket, chain guard and fenders, created by Igor Rovbar, a Slovenian wood craftsman and bicycle fanatic.
And then there is Olli Erkkila, the Finn, who excels in unusual designs that would turn heads on the street.
Jonny Fuego, one of the authors, writes: “ A bicycle is one oft the simplest machines out there; two wheels, a crack, and a chain.” You can build one buying the right aftermarket parts and create your own masterpiece.
