    I have this issue… Bought from the bike show at the NEC. I seem to recall asking for a job as a designer as well.

    Nice one – I have a P7. I like the quote:

    ‘ I think mountain biking as a sport has levelled off.’

    …don’t think I agree with him 10 years on!!…

    the first article i rememmber was about riding in the shadow of three different nuclear power stations (Quantocks, Snowdon and Lake District I recall) that was in an issue given out free at the Schwinn 100 in September 2001. Was that Issue 2?

    amazing how pessimisticly wrong MB turned out to be.

    The turbo mini incidentally still lives. It’s in Holland at the moment getting a restoration and conversion to left hand drive.

    Watch out dutch cyclists.
