ouch! as someone who also collects cycling magazines, the pricing is a TAD high, imho... save your $ and take a trip to europe... ive gotten stacks of 100 of these mags for what hes asking for 1 issue... even bought as single issues from european dealers, they usually run about $8-10 apiece at *most*, even if featuring a major name like coppi or bartali or... heck, practically every issue has some bit on the names we consider legendary now...

yeah, theyre hard to find over here in north america, but really... i dont think id pay those kind of prices even if i needed that one issue to fill out a year... hell, im reluctant to pay $8-10 for a single!

id pay $50 for a bound year, but not a single issue...
