On the scrounge for some vintage mags.

I've got an odd request - do any of you have any goofy vintage MTB magazines you'd be happy parting with? I've been working with a bike coop* in Manchester and I'd like to get some ironically outdated reading material for when people are waiting for us to fix their bikes.

I'm picturing a mountain biking mag for the early 90s. Something like this would be amazing.

*We're called Biko Bikes and we do free/at cost repairs for students.

I'd be happy to pay postage for a few issues if anyone's got anything they'd be happy sending our way.

I'm thinking I've got some in the cellar. Not sure quite how old but likely older than a student readership :wink: I shall investigate and report back

That would be great, thanks a lot. I'm hopeful for articles extolling the virtues of URT.

No problem I'll give you a few classics, Boardman v Obree etc

What's the best way to get them to you? I work in Manchester and can potentially drop them off
