I wasn’t too impressed when I received my ‘free’ copy. The pics looked boring and the articles didn’t make the mag stand out from the bunch. I wouldn’t have bought it, especially for £9.
However, I got around to reading it about 6 weeks later and thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ll happily let my subscription go through.
I’m of the opposite opinion to the above, though. I thought that the writing in the only copy of Rouleur I’ve got was pretty poor. I didn’t buy another copy, despite reading pretty much any book written about road racing. Rouleur seemed to have too many of the writers I find tedious. (Graham Fife stands out in this, in my very personal opinion of course!)
