FS: Jobst Brandt Book

As a result of Jobst Brandt being discussed, in quite polarizing ways in THIS THREAD, I was reminded that a book about his life was being published. He's first mentioned in the thread at Page 8.

Always intrigued by the man, I bought the book and just finished reading it.
Definitely was worth reading. It details his life, his epic rides, and his thinking, through interviews with many of his friends, family, and riding buddies.

Smart, complex, and a definite curmudgeon!

TONS of photos. Tom Ritchey, Gary Fisher, Eric Hjertberg, and many other notable names in the cycling world are featured.

Takeaways-his frames are HUGE! and apparently he never wore a helmet.

If you want my copy, I'll ship it to you for the price of USPS postage (media rate) plus the price of a good candy bar.

If you're a fan of his or merely curious, you won't be disappointed. I wasn't.

PM me if interested.
