Loved MBi back in the day!
My first copy was September 1991. I still remember there being a Rocky Mountain Altitude review in there. Thought the bike was awesome with all the Syncros bits including powerlite forks. The Tim Gould column in the back was a cool touch.
I then pretty much had all the magazines up to around early 1994, including that JMC front cover..stored in a box for safe keeping
Sadly said box went missing when my parents moved house, after I left home. I'm still cautiously optimistic that they might all resurface again. Needless to say I'll have the scanner fired up!
Me too!
I'll have a look for you to see what's in Sept '91.
All my MBUK's and MBi's suffered the same fate when I moved out. Took me ages to get all the MBUK's back.....then lost a complete 1991 collection due to flood damage. Managed to buy back again with the help of the forum. Couple of years ago a bought a (near)complete collection of MBi's and MBUK's from Issue 1 of both mags. I'm only missing the ones in my signature but they have been a great resource and I try to scan stuff for folk when I can.
Favourite MBi? - well it's not the 1st one I purchased but this one from May 1991 features 2 of the bikes I own...and most importantly for me, The prototype Orange Aluminium "O" review that inspired me to place the order for mine the next month!
Cheers all.
