Bicycling Magazine's New Bike Owner's Guide

I purchased this book in 1992 when I bought my first road bike. It was an invaluable resource for purchasing a new bicycle. It talked about bike fit, how to measure yourself and then how to figure out what size bike to buy including frame size and top tube length. It also explained how to make adjustments to the bike to make it suit your anatomy. Additionally it discussed the difference between men's and women's anatomies and how that difference affected bike fit(most bicycles are designed for Men's anatomies). In many cases, when going to various bike shops, the book armed me with more knowledge than the people who waited on me at the shop. Most bike shop owners are fairly knowledgeable about bike fit. Often their employees are not so knowledgeable, especially when it comes to fitting women riders. Most women end up with bicycles that are too long in the top tube for them. Overall I would rate this book very highly.
