I remember, but lost the box with my 74-82 issues of Bicycling! and Bicycling in a move in 1987. When it came out, I remember mentioning to a bike shop owner that the article was an evaluation of which was better Campy, Shimano or Suntour. In his most sarcastic tone he said something like, "Let me see, it will say Campy is the best, Shimano the worst and Suntour somewhere in between. "
Which I remember, it pretty much said.
