What on Earth are you talking about Simon? Is this some kind of Scatological Periodical?
Takes all sorts I spose. Not healthy or hygienic though. No wonder you've got Bottom Worms.

Next week I'm going for scurvy...[edit: the official name is "Privateer" but sadly it's nothing to do with privates

I woon't worry. Onion has obviously contracted your last week's parasitic infestation.

Tony, it'll be shipped to you direct as soon as it's published, due Mar 15
If you like it drop a tenner into a mountain rescue collection box.

You disgust me.
Posted 1 year ago # -
what is it?
it purports to be a quality magazine about mountain biking. Issue #1 smelled revolting though I got used to it after time, but I still found the contents quite unpalatable, though nearly everyone else told me I was totally wrong and it was wonderful
You disgust me
you're just in denial :o)

Well, my issue 2 has just arrived. I wouldn't necessarily describe the smell as revolting, but equally I wouldn't want to be stuck in a confined space with it for an extended period.
Clearly I haven't looked at the content; I just buy magazines for the aroma...

My No 2 has arrived and just remembered I haven't started No 1 yet!

Here too a click flick and it's lovely as the last one, something to read later with a wee drink.

But surely, it is the most confined space in the house that most of us spend extended periods with our (bike) mags

I love the smell. Rouleur is the same.

Mine arrived today,will have a look later

got mine today, nice pics and a good feature on the history of ti, with some good bits from the big US names. why that guy who did the tv/book thing about building his dream(road)bike has a page, im not sure. tbh ive had more fun on the toilet of late with issues 1-55 of singletrack. im passing them on but have really enjoyed the early mags.

Eeeeek! It seems I forgot to cancel the DD! Issue #2 lives up to its malodorous name, but perhaps the content will make up for it ?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Mine arrived today
As Tang says, but content thin otherwise. Don't think I'll be going on with them
Issue 1 was OK and it was good loo reading - good Gary Fisher feature and his San Francisco hippy bike youth beginnings

just finished mine, some good but mostly not. i dont dig this attempt to mythologize the past. in any given year in mtb history are we not just doing our thing? why i like the early singletracks, bit more fun and real. tbh, photos aside, the singular ad and the IF ad inspired me more, as in; 'thats a nice bike, i like mine so im going for a ride'

I'm still reserving my judgement, but I complained about history last time, and now they've dug into geological ages...
