I was just re-reading some back issues of Bicycle Quarterly last night. I really enjoy this magazine. It is beyond comparison to any other bicycling magazine I've ever seen. Packed with great information- from real-world aerodynamic testing, comfort & the flex of fork-blades, issues of fork geo/trail, to how the Campagnolo Paris- Roubaix shifter works (something i didn't even know existed until I read about it in BQ- it's fascinating!).
Whether you agree with some of the more philosophical points, or issues of 'taste' discussed in it or not, it's a friggin' awesome mag. I only wish it were full-color sometimes, because I'm sure some of the photographs from the rides of Mr. Heine et al would be even more spellbinding in the full spectrum. It's great for those times when you can't be on the bike. Matt On Apr 5, 11:00 am, jan_heine <hein...@earthlink.net> wrote: > > I know a lot of folks here read Vintage Bicycle Quarterly.
