MONKEY!
When’s it going to be in the shops then guys?
I do appreciate that Singletrack take their time over reviews and make sure that they have given something a proper run before they comment on performance, durability, etc.
Sometimes though guys you can take a bit long though. You say that in the mag you have a review of the NS Bikes Society frame, I’m sure the review makes a great read but are you aware that NS Bikes no longer have the Society in their 2009 range?
“…but are you aware that NS Bikes no longer have the Society in their 2009 range?”
Yup. All explained in the review…
ha ha. now I know why I wasn’t allowed to see your editing.
Great, its the issue for me
Just last weekend I moaning that the pedals I bought for 5 us dollars in 1995 are comimg to the end if their life

That’s it, I’m going to subscribe
You guys seem to be doing well with the themed issue thing. Reminds me of Bike years ago.

Perhaps a daft question – but any idea of a publication date?
OK i give up ,my local shop gets the mag in for me! so where is it?
Read through today, the bingo cards an inspired idea! However, re photo on page 104, are you sure that was a heimlich manoeuvre or just two ‘good friends’ enjoying themselves on the trail?
