You're so right, 52t!
It's clear the focus of this magazine's content has changed over the years, and that evolution (devolution?) really stands out when leaping between decades each month.
I've been tempted many times to analyze the content of each magazine for article type (racing, touring, camping, recreational, equipment, human interest, etc), % marketing content, page number, and so on.
But I probably won't until I catch up with all road tests, equipment/product reviews, and frame building articles from C&V years (i.e. 30 years and older).
My plan is to work Tours and Touring into the mix soon.
And, of course, you're always welcome to request an article!
