Why no retrobike magazine ?

about doing a small run of fanzines

Sounds a great idea, loads of clubs/groups have them.

We could ask CK if we could resurrect the Fat Tire Flyer

do people still buy magazines ? its such a dated medium

now regularly updated by the people interactive websites are the future , if there was ever any regulation to content and with the implementation of porn type credit card payment thats the way it would go

ive seen a few sites use a pdf doc as a mag

Do people still ride bicycles!!

I have a car it's ace. It's fast and i don't get wet.

I think a fanzine is a great idea. Just as long as there aren't to many words 'n' stuff.

Oh! can we have a crossword in it? Also i would like to put myself forward for the job of agony uncle. Can we have a spot the innertube as well?




Al, I think i should be in charge.

That would be BRILLIANT. I'd buy that.
Seriously, I'd love to something in the post every couple of months.

Recntly picked up the ride journal, very nice and couldn't be replicated online. Might be a good format for a retro mag.

Surely regular user contributions to the website make more sense? Publishing brings with it costs. Costs have to be met. Advertising space gets sold. Aiming mag. at a more lucrative audience makes sense. Mag sells more advertising. Original audience gets left behind and unsubscribe.

Don't go saying that my experience of STW has made me jaded but...

But it's not though!!

I don't think magazines are out-dated.

Have you been in WHSmith recently, theres millions of 'em!!!

A quick search found this:

I'd buy a retrobike fanzine (if it was cheap, no job... not that I keep on about it or anything )
