AVAILABLE TO SELL, I HAVE A DUPLICATE! This is volume-1 of a 2-volume series, it is one of the most comprehensive service-repair manuals ever published about bicycles and bicycle parts. Vol-1 has 468 pages containing the absolute best photos-illustrations and text I have ever seen in the bike industry. There are assembly and disassembly instructions for most component parts (hubs, brakes, bottom-brackets, etc.) and also trouble charts containing (1) SYMPTOM-PROBLEM, (2) PROBABLE CAUSE, (3) HOW TO CHECK, AND (4) REMEDY. Because of the importance of this manual I have taken the time to scan and show some of the pages in the picture gallery; it is worth your time to browse these pages. This is a hard cover book with dimensions of 8 7/8 x 11 1/4 inches, the condition is good. The cover is black with silver printing, you can see it in the picture gallery; the picture shown here is of the first inside page. In my humble opinion this is the best and most expensive service manual ever published by a bicycle manufacturer and is very valuable and worth having by anyone collecting and/or repairing or restoring bicycles from the 1940`s through the 1970`s.

It even includes the time required to complete the overhaul; in this example, 6-units.
