At last black text on a white background
For my weary old eyes
Its worth the extra just for that change
Impatiently taps foot and peeks through blinds for the postman ......
Just dropped through the door, all good, apart from angle article 😯
and where's the Dueler test Matt? 😉
Is it me or are there quite a lot more adverts?
Mag care to comment?
Hi Wrecker. No more adverts than usual (30% - compare that to other magazines...) but they're grouped together more so that the articles are clearer and less interrupted.
11am - still no postman, still no issue 72 ... 🙁
Any waffle about sunsets, daisies and feelings ?
Oooh, I may have to leave work early to check my door mat for my subscription.
see I knew it wouldn't land yesterday and I could have done with it after the day I had. OOOO hope it's "on the mat" when I get wom!
The chance of my postman coming before I have to leave for work is zero, so I'm having to wait until I get home before my very first issue of Singletrack magazine is in my grubby paws.
Curses.
The paper on mine s quite creased, worse in the front quarter than the rest
But overall looks good so far
Oooooooooooh goody - mine should be waiting for me when i get home. YAY! 😀
Just arrived.
First impressions are very good.
Very Privateer 8)
Damaged corner though 😥
I loves it
That is all

EH...LEAVE IT...! That [i]waffle[/i] is amongst the best parts of the mag. Something a bit different that makes it stand out from the other ordinary mags. I like it that someone has managed to sum up in words that crappy feeling you get when your sat in an office all week yearning for the hills, or the tingles of apprehension you get when you can sense the return of spring, longer days and dry trails.
30% adverts? Exactly the reason I don't buy magazines anymore.
Every 1 in 3 pages, both the reader AND the advertiser are paying for...

What do you think the adverts pay for! Without adverts there would be no magazine! Or at the very least the cover price would have to go up a lot!
Why am I on a late shift today 🙁
Today is just going to drag now
4pm can't come quick enough!
I'm kinda excited, hope it fits through my letterbox!
booommmmm - that was it hitting the front door mat. No complaints from me although the postie might have something to say about the size of it!

top marks to Steve Makin for his article

You are still talking about the magazine...right ? 😆
@ Ladders
I read WideOpen Mag, which is very much of the same calibre as STW.
And yes, it has adverts inside it. Fancy video ads too.
Doesn't cost a penny to buy.
Same goes for IMB
Posty been and no magazine.
I am dissapoint 🙁
it looks good!!
Put this in the sticky, but I guess that's for the digital copy.
Mine arrived today. Fairly damaged - the cover seems quite susceptible. Nothing major, but lots of surface marks on front and back.
Just had a quick flick through - looks meaty. Plenty of nice photos for inspiration. Still looks like Singletrack. Should be good!
Mine arrived today in A1 condition. Read a bit and all good so far 🙂
mine is here looks great, plenty of pics, 😀
Maybe there could be a more expensive version without ads in it. Like the premier thing and ads on line.
Looks ACE.
Looks good, smells good, is good
Arrived in Switzerland as well. International copies must have been posted early which is a nice touch.
Mine will arrive on friday when go to tesco, if they stil stock it.
Excellent... like the format, articles, photography and new production values. Even better mine arrived totally undamaged.
recieved my copy this morning. not yet managed to read it but first impressions are
1- it looks great
2 - more pages and better paper used
3 - pictures are fantastic as always
= very happy chappy
Looks and feels good. I like the slight page size reduction (smaller than previous ST bigger than Privateer et al). As said by easygirl really good to have so much of the text printed on to single colour pages (white or any other colour) have always struggled with print over photos and a lot more so since the need to wear reading glasses as of 3 years ago. It also means a lot more pics with no text over the top detracting from the image. Looking forward to read (can't be arsed to walk upstairs for glasses).
Cheers folks, looking good.
Mine has also arrived quite beat up, old version was much more Royal Mail proof it would seem.
Looking forward to having a read through it to see whats new.
Easygirl I've highlighted your problem to see what can be done.
As on the other post 10/10
Great work to you all
Jewels of the isle: It's true about Tebay it really is the best service station ever!
Loving the new mag. My only complaint (that isn't really a complaint) is that I keep trying to separate what I think are two pages when there is only one! Damn you higher quality paper!
Enjoyed reading the feature on being a new parent which is highly relevant right now.
Good work fellas and ladies!
Count me as one of the very happy/impressed. Thank you and well done! It can't be easy to produce within the budget constraints and as such, the ad's are clearly justified.
The ad's have good quality images too 🙂
Additionally, I was very interested to read Mr Worlands article, being initially sceptical in so far as the mainstream WMB 'Tech Ed' would be tempted to bring along the WMB/MBUK 'values' and 'ethos' into the STW arena.... I'm delighted to say that I've found his article refreshingly honest and thought provoking and my scepticism unfounded.
Oh, my copy arrived totally unmarked, unscathed and in PWO!
Thanks again.
Sorry guys - unimpressed.
Just cancelled my subs - read some of the articles and wondered if I was reading WhatMTB (the angles and family cycling article in particular).
I don't keep back issues, passing them onto kids in the street, so the
extra quality and price does not excite me (also noticed creased pages).
I've read every issue from #4 too!
