When Jan Heine asked me if I would like to write articles for his magazine, I set two conditions: no financial compensation and no deadlines.
The Ideale. It's a while ago now I was looking for one to complete an ultimate ode to what I attempted (the everything icing on the cake) - at the time, they were not cheap on Ebay nor LBC. My bike build budget had already doubled and had to keep to the original which was an Ideale in great condition all considering with micro fantastic stamped rivets with text.
6 months later I see a second hand very very good handbuilt old racing bike with this Rebour saddle on it. For a low 70€. A complete bike. I didn't buy it, typical me being a doubtful and messing about then went back to buy it, but had already gone.
But I am so happy to have seen the saddle in the flesh for the first time and all the work gone into it. It really is one of those few tribute special edition bike parts where normally I don't care about such things but there is such a finesse about it all and that historical mark on it.

years ago (around 2010ish)i would read each magazine cover to cover. at on point i even had all the back issues. in the past 5 or 6 years, i read maybe 10 pages and then give the magazine to my barber for his table of old Newsweek, Atlantic Monthly, and Popular Science for guys to thumb through while waiting for their tonsorial treatment.
a year ago, i re-upped for a 3 year commitment. after 2 or 3 issues, i was so discouraged at the editorial policy and blatant self-promotion, i requested a refund. and i'm not a refund requesting guy in a regular sense. i'll take my knocks and move on. but anyway, i was told after 6 months there could not be any credit to my account.
as someone who has used their hands & body to create all my working life (plus 11 years beyond!) i certainly appreciate the craftsmanship which went into writing these pieces.
anyway, it's none of my business, yours, but i would heartened if you were compensated in some way beyond your expectations. i am certain you put a value on your knowledge and time. i'll bet a cookie everyone on this Forum could agree with that.
JH is certainly not bashful self promoting, telling the world, and with a per cent of validation, he's the greatest thing on two wheels, and how we should enable him to charge us deeply for the privilege of knowing that, and buy the way those new supple planing tyres are 99.99 each.
i think how this shakes out will show more about the owner than he realizes.
and we will still be left with two issues of a magazine with at least 20 pages to enjoy reading.
thank you again for this great piece of cycling literature.
