A few days ago it was discussed on this forum the value of this book and I have decided to buy from Amazon. They only sell used and I have two options, a version published in 2000 with an update for 2005. What does the latter version cover that is not in the earlier book?. Is it better illustrated and laid out. I can save half the cost if I buy the earlier version.

    Get the new one. Although the 2000 one will give you all the basics it may missout on newer improved equipment and components.

    Best to be most up to date as you can IMO.

    Think what wasn't on bikes in 2000 compared to now, and think of the improvements.

    I got the latest edition from Evans Cycles. They normally have a pile of them.
