Inhaltsangabe

If you own a JF Wilson, you have more than a special bicycle: you have a story of an exceptional man. Jim Wilson, my father, was an inspiration and a mentor to future world-class bike riders such as Tommy Simpson, Ken Russell, Ron Coe and countless other young and upcoming riders from the 1950s through four decades into the 1990s, but that does not even scratch the surface. Making use of his first two initials, Jim Wilson created and designed his famous cycle frame JF diamond logo in 1948.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Nigel James Wilson was born in Sheffield, the 'City of Steel', on 20th May 1966. From a very young age he was working in his father's bicycle shop, building wheels by hand amongst a myriad of other jobs, six days a week. Later he took an apprenticeship in the shop's cellar and workshop, building bespoke steel cycle frames with the master frame builder himself, Nigel's father, Mr. J. F. Wilson. Better still, Nigel was brought home there after his birth in Jessop Hospital to the shop house. And, at the time of writing 57 years later, he is still there, living, working and now writing in a lifestyle unique, in his father's 104th year anniversary and his shop's 75th anniversary, which this book happens to mark.
