      Ať už na něm chcete jezdit do práce, na výlety, nebo na vícedenní putování, tato kniha vás díky jasným pokynům krok za krokem provede labyrintem rámů, kol, převodů či brzd. Nemusíte mít zkušenosti cyklomechanika, postačí vám jen nadšení, fantazie a trocha trpělivosti. Díky úplné kontrole nad podobou, velikostí, hmotností a specifikací sestaveného modelu můžete postavit kolo, které vám bude perfektně vyhovovat a bude odpovídat tomu, kde, jak a jak často chcete jezdit. Můžete si sestavit takové kolo, na které naložíte zavazadla, nákupy nebo děti a okamžitě si zjednodušíte rutinní každodenní úkoly. Nebo si můžete postavit minimalistický a velmi lehký model pro sportovní a rychlou jízdu či kolo s pohodlnými převody a tlustými pneumatikami pro vyjížďky do terénu a zdolávání kopců. Druhým faktorem je cena. Pokud si budete stavět kolo pro dlouhodobé používání z kvalitních komponentů a dobře vybraného rámu, zjistíte, že vlastní sestava vám přináší mnohem lepší rentabilitu. Budete sice muset do kola něco investovat, ale konečný výsledek bude mít mnohem vyšší hodnotu než jen součet cen jednotlivých dílů. To, že pochopíte, jak se kolo vyrábí a jak funguje, z vás udělá lepšího cyklistu.
