Mike Burrows has a book - Bicycle Design.
Covers all types of bicycles and the design and engineering of them. From practical and comfort reasons, to science and sport.
A pretty good read.
We have them in bikefix... not that i am trying to plug or anything. Otherwise they are avaliable online.
Apart from that - bicycling science. would recommend as well. Covers everything you would ever need to know or not know. I have flicked through it a bit and i must say that it does tend to over complicate the bike... to a pretty scary extent.
If you are around hackney at any point, let me know and i can lend you both books for a lil while.
