Bicycle Guide / Bicyclist OK, I gotta be crazy \u2013 these are priceless - to be able to re-re-read on cold winter days \u2013 but, here goes! These will be auctioned on the CR newsgroup with all proceeds going toward supporting the costs to put on the Cirque. So, you write a check made out to Greensboro Velo Club, and, it\u2019s tax deductible (I think \u2013 y\u2019all correct me if I\u2019m wrong,but I think that GVC is a non-profit org). These are a good representation of lots of the great issues that Bicycle Guide put out \u2013 and the final issues that were at the time that B.G. was taken over by Peterson\u2019s \u2013 making it Bicyclist magazine \u2013 but following pretty much the same formats. Thirty one issues. LOTS of wonderfully made lugged, steel frames, bikes, and the etc. Racing \u2013 yea, lots of US racing coverage, as well as European. All of them are in great shape, tho\u2019 you\u2019ll find turned down corners and drool marks (oh, if I had won the lotto!). I figure that these could be used to build the book that we all want that shows all of the\u201cclassic\u201d frame builders \u2013 yea, there\u2019s that much in them! As stated, this is for the costs of hosting the Cirque \u2013 so\u2013 it\u2019s not that much for the pleasure we all get from these two great parts of our lives! And, TAX DEDUCTIBLE! Just start the bidding with your reply/emailto the CR LIST. Highest bidder as of 10 June 02 - 10:00pm eastern time is the winner. Winner to mail check or money order to me made out to Greensboro Velo Club. I'll pay shipping (cheapest way).

I think that bidding on these for just two of issues aloneare worth it, as they are really special to me. The July \u201996 issue \u2013 this one has the first Rivendell review \u2013 in full colour! The April \u201996 issue \u2013 it has the great article on frame building \u2013 the cover is a great zoomed view of a seatlug just brazed! The frame building includes brazing, fillet brazing, and tig welding \u2013 but is still hep on steel! Also in this issue is an article on riding the Blue Ridge Parkway (a ride to do again and again) and, other than Rivendell (you really SHOULD go ahead and order a RIV frame - ain't nothin\u2019 better riding!!!), my other frame lust \u2013 Holland of Reistertown, MD (the fastback seatstays are sexy!). EACH of these two issues should go for something special, say for $200. each. But, you get them as a part of this set! I hope that everyone finds this \u201cissue\u201d a great cause \u2013 it\u2019s something that we all enjoy so much, and, note that we have never paid a centf or all of it. Start bidding!
