Not yet, although I'm waiting on international post and then distribution internally within Sweden.

Haven't received mine either so sent them an email this morning and apparently they are coming, it's just taking a while to get them sent out.

Mine arrived last week and I'm trying to limit myself to one article a day.

By far the best cycling publication - nothing else like it

Hello guys.
The journal isnt my full time job, so all orders I process are fitted in at work and during evenings.
For this reason, and the fact that over 500 copies have been ordered this week, mean its taken a day or two to stay on top of things.

Add in a postal service that can be erratic at the best of times... and you get a few days delay.

Its worth the wait, but I guess you knew that already.

cheers

- I will look for you as I am sure I have a spare. However there are PDF copies of Issue 1 & 2 available via the site.

Mine arrived today, & as always is cracking.

Thanks phillyd.

Any chance of a reprint of Issue 1?

I know there is a pdf version, but my bookshelf has a gap where the first one should be!

No plans at the moment Im afraid.
I'd like to say its because I've got a stash of numbered ones Im going to leak onto ebay but its not the case.

its more dull things like scale of economics and people who've got issue 1 liking it being special.

Well I was one of the chosen, I don't suppose you do discounts on issue 4 for those that have the first three do you? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Waiting on mine - have issues 2 and 3, wish I'd got Issue 1 when I had the chance. The gap on my bookshelf for it is actually in the downstairs loo, the articles are just the right length .....

Yeah, likewise. Not had a chance to do other than flick through it yet, but looks great (as ever).

Looking forward to reading mine when it arrives (and rather enjoying being tantalised by the wait).

I have issue 1 (one of the numbered 1000). It's not for sale.

Now, issue 1 of Rouleur, I'd be prepared to pay for. Got all the others, y'see....

It's arrived.

Resisted reading the whole of it so far, but from what I've read it's the usual great mix - some inspiring stuff, some stuff I just don't get, minimal adverts (though I like the Knog one!)

I see all those articles crammed in and look at the price, and I look at all the other ad-packed magazines around and I think it's great value for money.

Just a lot of people talking about bikes, what they ride, how they ride, where they ride,why they ride...a whole range of types, styles and experiences but basically bikes.

Don't get me wrong, like anything relying on contributors some of them aren't that great, or are badly written, but it's the enthusiasm that comes over.

Someone will be along shortly to tell me why I am wrong....
