Cycle Building and Repairing

Cycle Building and Repairing, edited by Paul N. Hasluck, is a practical guide to constructing and maintaining bicycles and tricycles, originally compiled from articles in the magazine Work, where Hasluck served as editor. First published around 1900 (this edition was published in March 1912), the book consolidates technical knowledge for enthusiasts, mechanics, and hobbyists interested in vintage cycles. It provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for building various types of cycles, including front-driver bicycles, rear-driving safety bicycles, tandem safeties, front-driver tricycles, and hand tricycles. The guide also covers essential repair techniques, making it a comprehensive resource for both construction and maintenance.
