No beef, just an observation. I would have a beef if I was forced to buy one. But in response, I agree, most hobby/product/lifestyle magazines are nothing more than the equivalent of the putting a poster on the wall. Now, if a magazine came along that was both editorially smart, wrote intriguing articles and tried to both celebrate the sport, but also inform the reader in an adult manner, then I am all for it. But most of the magazines insult your intelligence all the while lying to the reader in order to either gain access to athletes or to please advertisers. Or they repeart the same garbage over and over (see bicycling mag).

Rouleur Magazine is in my opinion the best of the bunch, as it is at least aiming for something artistic in its presentation, more akin to the Life Magazine of the cycling world. but it does seem to steer clear of the sycophantic approach taken by all of the other cycling magazines.
