TOUR Magazine was started after Didi Thurau's great performance in the '77 TdF as "Rad"-magazine (wheel). The early issues had mostly b/w pages the first 4 (and subsequently, the last 4) pages were color, and had some great bike porn on them most of the time. The advertising was/is very bundled and it is easy to skip. In '82 the mag turned all color. Always a good source for original set-ups, introduction dates, and the likes.
