| Now in an updated and expanded second edition, The Dancing Chain is the in-depth story of the history and development of the Derailleur Bicycle. Built specifically for the high-adrenaline sport of downhill (DH to those in the know), mountain bike racing, in which riders hurtle down snowless black diamond-level ski slopes at ridiculous speeds, the bike features an honest-to-goodness transmission in place of the usual gears and derailleur setup. By brazing a five-speed derailleur to a heavyweight "fat-tire" 1940s Schwinn, he was able to construct a bicycle that could maneuver over the rough terrain of the area (Jacoby, 1990). |
