30 Years Ago: January 1990 in Bicycling magazine

Welcome back to the 1990s! America's cycling community is still basking in the afterglow from LeMond's TdF win. 7-speed is so yesterday. Road STI is just around the corner.
Technology, confidence and hyperbole will reign.

You might wonder why I include the fun, yet provocative, "Best Cycling Legs in America" and not, say something more serious and historical like LeMond's Training Secrets.
Well, because "...Legs..." is the main cover story and because I tend to like articles featuring relatively ordinary people like Joe Blow from Kokomo who are receiving a quick shot of fame. Maybe one of them is you or someone you know.
Besides, I don't think LeMond's training secrets are all that secret anymore.

Whatever...let me know if you'd like to see something else listed in the ToC and I'll do my best to send you a pdf.
But please check through the entire thread first in case I added articles to this thread later,
Bicycling issues are well over 100 pages now, so all of the interesting articles might not fit in the first post, or more than a few people requested the same article and I figured others might want it too.

Otherwise, just send me a PM that includes your email address.
