"How 'bout CLASSIQUE (or CLASSIC) BICYCLE QUARTERLY? It's got the vibe, a "taste" of the French thing, but "classique" or "classic" is not exclusively vintage. It lets the mag keep more of its heritage than with just "Bicycle Quarterly."
Sounds to me, with the official demise of ASPHALT, the wise marketing decision has been made. A publisher simply needs to appeal to his widest possible readership. Why should one limit himself in potential appeal? And carbon will be around for a long time. Greater things may be in the future. Or, as with many of the other cycles in life, things come and go.
