Why do you say "vast improvement", what was wrong before ?

Yeh definately a huge improvement on the last issue which I haven't really read much of. Most of the stuff didn't interest me at all. This issue is much better.

Yes, it's good again, but couldn't really put my finger on what was wrong in the last 2. I guess the articles just weren't up my street.

I agree - was on the verge of cancelling my sub after the past few months. got a lot more from reading Dirt recently, but the last one saved it. Can't put my finger on it really..

I think the joy of filth section is inspired

wors - you're right. The bit on steve Peat's bike was great as well. 160/140m rotors?!

All those interviews were, apparently, not very popular.

I have to say that was a 50% wasted issue for me as well.

I do not subscribe as I take the chance to pop into my LBS - any excuse. The last couple of issues have been a bit dull, have re-read some older issues and they remind me why I read STW. So 53 is out then? ... just of to the LBS.

Big improvement on 52, which seemed cobbled together around a very weak 'theme'. Can only assume the return of the Editor made the difference. (Can I have some free stuff now please.)

Agree with skinnysteel, I think that Chipps' return has made the difference. Does this mean I want to touch his naughty place?
