Does anyone know anything about this magazine. Lots of interesting Italian classic stuff, mainly Ducati including a desmo single prototype.

Up to issue 3 now and the content remains as high, if not higher than the first issue, Greg is doing a great job finding stuff to include and keeping it going, I had reservations as to whether he could as I've seen it before with magazines where issues one and 2 are good and then it goes downhill but not with this one.
He's doing it himself, no big publishers involved so the only way it'll survive is with support from Italian bike fans, I have all the issues and bought the tee shirt
would rather give my money to companies like this than the big publishing houses who chase me for advertising each month

I've got every edition also.
It's a beautifully produced magazine, and a pleasure to flick through.
I keep them on the meeting table at work, and even non-biking customers can't keep their hands off it.
Gorgeous photographs and printed on high quality paper - £8 an issue, justified imho :thumbs:

Hi Derek,
I have the first 2 and 3rd ordered.
Like Michael I thought it might just be a one hit wonder but must say they are finding stuff I didn't expect and it is a read that you can keep coming back to.
Not cheap but it has a good quality cover and will last well.
Won't appeal to folk looking for "how to wheelie like a God" type articles but if you have an interest in the history of bikes then it is well worthwhile.

I do Derek, magazines like this are gems in a mass market publishing world and I appreciate the work that goes into them, its up there with the likes of Rouleur or Privateer (2 cycling titles I like) and both are equally as expensive (actually its cheap for what you get IMHO).
Quality magazine prices don't tend to bother me (they do for your average Smiths newstand crap) as I will keep them and use them for reference. its no more than yer average motorway coffee and sandwich and TBH even if i didn't enjoy one issue I wouldnt be bothered as I know they don't survive without selling copies and my purchase does help it survive.
