I used to read this all the time when I was last riding bikes and loved it.I'm pretty sure it had the cartoon "OGRI" in it.
I just did a google and couldn't find it anywhere so i wondered if it had changed name or stopped printing it?

If it's not made anymore then what bike mag do you read and would recommend?

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Well Sickpup... I'm over 30 now, my memory is not what it once was. Often I can't remember what happened to me 5 minutes ago!

Well guess either the mag wasn't as popular as I thought,it was during the 80's that I used to read it.

I'm rapidly approaching my 50th so it's fair to say I may be a month or two older than most the people on here Rolling Eyes

Old Thread Alert!

The last post was made 15 years, 30 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful?
