The untold story of one of cycling’s greatest influences: Jobst Brandt gravelled long before it was cool to gravel, pretty much invented the modern bike computer and wrote an essential guide to home wheel building. cycling
’ books, Isola Press have launched a crowdfunder for another book about Jobst Brandt, one of cycling’s most influential outsiders, industry mavericks, inspiring explorers and godfather of gravel.
As Jobst took both riders and bicycles beyond traditional limits, he put his mind towards improving the unreliable bicycle technology of the time. His engineering rigor shaped the way the bike industry thought, and the bikes we now ride with today's road bikes, mountain bikes and gravel bikes all following in his tyre tracks.
JOBST BRANDT RIDE BIKE! will tell the story of Jobst's life and rides for the first time, through unseen photos and original documents that detail his impact on cycling. He was one of cycling’s greatest maverick minds of the last half a century, yet remains relatively little known; something this book aims to change and establish his place in cycling history.
