The Golden Age of Handbuilt Bicycles
Text: Jan Heine — Photography: Jean-Pierre Praderes

During the "Golden Age," small makers built amazing bicycles that
transcended their function to become a form of art. Their craftsmanship was
not limited to the frame, but included hand-made derailleurs, brakes, stems,
racks and other components. The entire bicycle was carefully designed and
crafted as a unit, combining function and beauty. Famous makers like René
Herse, Alex Singer, Jo Routens and others spent countless hours on each
bicycle in their search for perfection.

With lavish color photography, The Golden Age of Handbuilt Bicycles charts
the development of these machines from the early 1900s through the present
day. The 50 classic bicycles in this book display amazing craftsmanship,
elegance and function. Each brought innovations that continue to be used
today. Additional historic photos show the bikes in competition and with their
original owners. Insightful descriptions set the scene for each bicycle and
explain its details. Here you find machines with a level of craftsmanship that
never has been surpassed.

The Authors:
Jan Heine is editor of Bicycle Quarterly, a magazine about classic bicycles and
cycling's history.

Jean-Pierre Pradères' photography has been published in many magazines
and books, including the Guggenheim Museum's The Art of the Motorcycle.
