Any old copies of MBR for recycling?

[Dr Bob]

If anyone has any old copies of MBR that they no longer want, I could do with some reading material to get me up to speed with things! I'm ideally after January to August's editions - but anything that covers any of the following would equally be appreciated:
1) Review of hardtails £500-£1000
2) Newbie workshop guides
3) Trails in SE England

Thanks in advance, CH

Where are you based? If local then you're welcome to pick up some copies but the cost of posting them would probably make it easier just to order back issues from IPC.

[Dr Bob]

I'm in Kent unfortunately (I see you're in Bristol), so picking them up is probably not a goer(!)...

...are there those sort of articles in MBR? I'd be happy to pay the postage - if you've a few you want to pass on it makes it more worth paying the postage than the 4quid each that the back issues cost.

Without checking specifically, those are exactly the sort of articles you'd expect to find in any random selection of MBR issues.

Some reviews are on their website: http://www.mbr.co.uk/

www.mtbr.com is a good site for bike reviews. Only downsides being its American based (but loads of UK reviewers) and you get a few tools reviewing bikes. Always worth a browse though.

PDV6, Well, if you can be arsed, and you no longer want them, bung a load in a box, tell me what the postage will be and I'll send it you (cash/cheque or paypal).

Cheers, I have looked, but there's so much stuff on there and half of it was reviewed years ago - the last thing I need is another website to take up valuable lunch break time (PH is bad enough for that)... I also like the tangibility of magazines - you can flick through 'em, read 'em without getting a headache, etc. (I'm such a luddite for a computer programmer!)

Will do, although I expect the postage will be a fair bit just due to the sheer weight (I have Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, May, Jun & Aug sitting here gathering dust - no idea what's happened to Apr & Jul).

Aye well, ask what the cheapest method would be, there's no need for 1st class - i'm not in a rush ;-)

Cheers though - that would be fantastic... I need to get a couple of ideas for what to ask from my wife for my birthday and Christmas!

As it's over 2kg but under 4kg, the cheapest option is £8.24. You still want to go ahead?

{edit:} Email me your details via my profile if you want to go for it - email is switched off in your profile!

All done. It's in the post system in the office, so should be collected this afternoon.
