Slagging off is GOOD though if its specific.

The reason being is when your sales dip - you normally never know why they have. Its always good to know feedback- negative is always good in this instance as it tends to be more detailed.

This thread has actually made my mind up to buy a digital subscription. I buy every issue from a shop and end up with a big pile of paper for recycling. Seems a waste to me. I buy a lot of MBRs, too as I like the ride maps. Maybe ST should do some GPX type ones for digi subscribers?

Which shops price their produce by how ugly it is?

The knocking shop.

This thread has actually made me download issue #1 and read it.

I'd recommend it, if only for Chipps’ cornrows haircut.

Mike, weren't they after an Issue #5 to be cut up and scanned recently? See if they'll swap it for some bits.

If true, I'm happy to send it in.

So - does anybody want 40-odd back issues of Singletrack dating from 2005 onwards?

They've done this in the past: e.g. the [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/magarchive/issue-66/ ]Issue 66 routes are provided as TrackLog (trl) files[/url].

I've got them all going back to Issue 1 - one of these days I'll get around to chucking them [s]in the recycling[/s] on classifieds.

I had to drive 125 miles to give away all my old issues (1-65) away!

Topic starter
 

The reason i cancelled my sub, has nothing to do with the excellent quality pictures and writing in the magazine, but more to do with the special offer i got of a young lady in a field at Catton Park last year, this is now going to double in price, if i want the same package, strangely i dont read the back issues on a computer,rarely read the premier bits etc, and i can pop down to smiths and buy a copy if something intrests me in the mag, then i usually give it away to a fellow poor cyclist.or just pop it into the recycling, from where its probably made into an argos catalogue.

Oh and there is a little thing called recession , currently hitting a lot of us workers, and meaning we have to save cash.

Mike,
if you can also pop Issue 14 in with it, I'll make sure you get sorted out with an extra bob. cheers.

As JY said, and I have said before...I can take or leave the mag. Some issues I love, some I love less. It's about keeping the lights on at this place. Well worth the money (which comes out once per year. Even I can budget for that)

I have no idea what you mean, but I wish, I wish, I had offers of a young lady, in a field, park, wherever, occasionally or even just once in my life.

I buy the mag, it would be rude not to really. Ok, it ebbs and flows like everything else in life but overall i enjoy it - plus it's a slice of local life 🙂

Really need to get round to getting a sub though...

No problem. Is that Chipps in the editorial pic, wearing nothing but a pair of cowboy boots and a copy of Dirt Rag?

Eew, that's the one. There's probably a reason we don't have too many copies of that issue lying around..
