MTB mag - best for retro content?

[Old Fisher]

As I am just really getting back into riding I have bought a few MTB mags over the past couple of months but found little or no retro content. Tried MRB, What MTB and MBUK.

Is that just the case with them or does one feature more than others?

What do you guys read?

I have heard that singletrack mag is good for non-mainstream stuff like SS but have yet to find a copy so can't comment on it's retro content.

I dont do mags anymore, as I find this site gives me a big enough fix

weren't Dirt going to do something? The editor was on here a month or two back?

I have never seen Dirt for sale anywhere

as far as retro goes, none really.

as far as an older state of mind and more informative and (slightly) less consumerist with a toe still dipped in the retro state of mind pool of the past without being overly nostalgic - Dirtrag (IMO).

Unfortunately retro doesn't sell advertising space, and I doubt if the readers of MBUK were even born in 1990. :shock:

Doesn't that make you feel old?

Don't do mags, like a previous poster, this site is far more fun!

Go to your local charity shop...

I picked up a couple of good MTB books recently.

Pro Mountain Biker by Jeremy Evans and Brant Richards is brill! Lots of racing pics inc JT on a Raleighh Experimental...

(BTW loads of Maguras, Discs, FS bikes but not a V brake in sight!)
