More retro in this months MBUK

[kaiser]

For me it went tats up with the airplane stuff or riding along the bottom of a lake. Then they introduced some total wee twit psuedo punk guy and I haven't a clue what was going on.

Jamie Hibberd, I could've sworn I saw him working in a games shop in Weston super Mare last year.

" Welcome to MBUK.... this month we'll discuss what waste of money disc brakes, 9 speed cassettes and monster suspension are if all you like a pootling at high speed around offroad singletrack on a top quality steel steed dripping with bling that's a fifth of it's original price..... "

Not really gonna fly is it now?

MTB Pro was too grown-up and highbrow for its own good. I loved it but it just didnt sell against 'sister' MBUK. A big shame.

Ride along a bottom of a lake? What happened?

I love MBR, it's the first magazine I've ever subscribed to.
They use the old MBi office I think.
This site is mentioned this month too.
Although there is a Klein Adroit in the Top Trumps section which had a new price of £1100 apparently. Wasnt the frame and forks more than that?

I hardly ever read MBUK, but there has been a couple of good articles; Jason McRoy tribute, 20 best MTB inventions (although they went on about disc brakes, suspension and the like rather than cartridge bearings, Aheadset etc).
