I have been asked to relist the Bicycle Guide mags for auction - the proceeds of which will go to the operation of the Cirque - via GVC.
OK, I gotta be crazy \u2013 these are priceless - to be able tore-re-read on cold winter days \u2013 but, here goes! These will be auctioned on the CR newsgroup with all proceedsgoing toward supporting the costs to put on the Cirque. So, you write a check made out to GreensboroVelo 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 issuesthat Bicycle Guide put out \u2013 and the final issues that were at the time thatB.G. was taken over by Peterson\u2019s \u2013 making it Bicyclist magazine \u2013 butfollowing pretty much the same formats. Thirty one issues. LOTS ofwonderfully made lugged, steel frames, bikes, and the etc. Racing \u2013 yea, lots of US racing coverage, aswell as European. All of them are ingreat shape, tho\u2019 you\u2019ll find turned down corners and drool marks (oh, if I hadwon the lotto!). I figure that thesecould 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 ofour lives! Just start the bidding with your reply/emailto the CR or better yet, offline to me. YEAR TITLE ISSUES 1998 Bicyclist Oct, Aug, Jul, Jun, May, Apr, Feb, 1997 Bicyclist Dec, Oct, Aug, Jul 1997 Bicycle Guide Jun, May, Apr, Feb 1996 Bicycle Guide Dec, Oct, Sep, Aug, Jul, Jun, May, Apr, Mar, Feb 1995 Bicycle Guide Nov, Oct, Sep, Aug, Jul, Jun I think that bidding on these for just two of issues alone are worth it, as they are really special to me. The July \u201996issue \u2013 this one has the first Rivendell review \u2013 in full colour! TheApril \u201996 issue \u2013 it has thegreat article on frame building \u2013 the cover is a great zoomed view of a seatlug just brazed! The frame buildingincludes 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 thesetwo issues should go for something special, say for $25. But, you get them as a part of this set! I hope that everyone finds this \u201cissue\u201d a great cause \u2013 it\u2019ssomething that we all enjoy so much, and, note that we have never paid a cent for all of it. Start bidding!

I hope that this clears up any questions.
