Can anyone recommend...

[unfknblvbl]

a book(s), dvd, etc about building bikes? I'm looking for something informative, from explaining rake and trail, to squaring up a tire, to wiring the bike, etc.

I scour the internet, read AIM from cover to cover (when I get the chance to from Iraq), look at the specs of bikes I find online (if I like the way they set), etc.

What I would like it to entail is, for instance: If you have a frame that has a 33* rake with 2 up and 1 out this would be your best bet for the front end if you are using a 21 x 3.15 front wheel and 16 x 5.5 rear wheel, however, if you are front and rear wheel is the same size you would be better of with this front end and this is why or when you are ready to wire your bike it is best to start from this point and work your way this way, a little tip is this while wiring your bike is, etc or if you are looking at a (let's say) stock springer for a frame with this set up you may be better off with a springer that is 4" over, while were on the subject of 4" over let's discuss what the difference between a stock springer, one that 4" and one that is -2" under.

Hopefully that will give you all somewhat of an idea as to what I'm looking for. I'm really not looking for something that will explain to me step by step how to build a 15' long chopper that will ride like a dream or a Bobber like this guy over here did.

Thanks for any information or help you can provide.
