FYI this is a german publication that is a consumer reports in a sense.
The coolest thing about this magazine is that they test the **** out of everything.
For example, When they test frames the actually measure head tube stiffness and BB deflection (the whole 9 yards)
Why can't America come out with a magazine like this?
I'm guessing advertising is the reason. So instead we have to put up with less than scientific BS subjective evaluations that don't give us any clear answers, but keep advertisers happy.

I have been touting that magazine for years here in the Forums.
Another is the French Top Velo, but you probably know that, as you are obviously named after another French magazine: 53/11.

let me chip in,
I've found Bicycling mag's "Biketown USA" articles very helpful when deciding which comfort bike I should purchase
they also do great shock absorption tests on sprung saddles and suspension seatposts
cutting edge research

Here is a thread recently written by a guy wanting to know hoe much a Al cervelo soloists weighs. Here is the response he gets https://weightweenies.starbike.com/ph...pic.php?t=7014
I think velo news has some good articles too.
Incidentally, you can actually subscribe to tour magazine online and download their tests. Wish I learned German in High school instead of Spanish.
