1 out of 5 stars Stupid book for losers.   June 16, 2009
Greg Miller
Really a winner of a loser book. No really this is for those that read it already cause I didn't listen either. How could a book about choppers be that bad. Well I would say representing everyone that read this book. To go out and buy a Magazine, yea any magazine on bikes will do. This book is being recycled, what a waste of wood products.


1 out of 5 stars Not worth the money!   December 23, 2007
Roy John Wheaton (San Francisco, CA)
This book, like other titles I purchased from the same author at the same time, provides little useful information. Pretty pictures, but no in-depth information that would allow someone to make intelligent choices on their project. No competitive analysis of products, no guidance, no meat!

Don't buy it.

Against the advice of the other reviewers, I bought this book anyway. I'm square in the middle of the intended audience: I want to build a custom bike from the ground up, and I have extensive mechanical skills. In fact, I learned more from the most recent issue of "Hot Bike" than from this amateurish piece.
It's shallow, disorganized, and frustrating because it could have been so much more. In addition, it badly needed someone to proofread and edit it. Remus has to be the king of the run-on sentence. Don't waste your money.

This book has very little to do with building choppers other than assembling a motorcycle on a purchased prefab frame. What a waste of money. Remus should write a book describing how to turn an existing bike into a chopper. This book is little more than a list of suppliers. All of this info can be found in a $... magazine without spending $... for the book.

My advice... Keep on Looking!!

If your looking for a book to teach you how to assemble a kit bike...this is it. It doesn't offer much help for someone looking to build their own bike from the ground up.
