Cicli Casati su Rouleur # 29

Cicli Casati has been making bikes in Monza since 1920. Guy Andrews hankers after a land where steel frames, sunshine and midnight ice creams are a way of life. Herbie Sykes depicts an altogether grimmer reality of Italian amateur cycling.

bone-shaker # 8

Ever eaten a bear? Raced your bike through a strange Austrian's apartment? This issue tries both. With its outstanding cover by Illustrator Stevie Gee, with more than a little nod to Kraftwerk's 'Tour de France' artwork (albeit in Stevie's unique style), this issue hits hard from the get-go.

How to Own a Bike. By Bill Strickland

I’ve been taking the new Pegoretti out on the lunch ride. It’s among the most beautiful of all the bikes that hang in my shop, or any I’ve ever ridden. It may be, flat-out, the most beautiful, but I have trouble, personally, naming a singular superlative in most things; it certainly is the most distinctive, the most artistic. (…) Read here

Steel # 3

Don’t get it wrong ! The colour of this issue is not pink but magenta (c : 0 ; M : 100 ; J : 0 ; n :0) ! You can’t really imagine pink on the cover of a men’s magazine. As everybody knows, biking is a guy’s business. Careful! Not that much ! We wanted magenta because women are an intagral part of Steel. What would we do without women’s fashion series, without sensual shapes next to a frame. How could we miss their distinct eye and their light pen ? A pen that turns our technical and machist material into a pleasant content understandable to all. Let us see life through pink-coloured glasses for this third and last issue of the year 2011. These past months have been punctuated by events, interviews and discoveries. This issue is not an inventory nor an overview of biking, but once more a nice little mess. At the same time vintage and contemporary, delicate and trash, cold and sensual, sober and erotic, Steel again goes in all directions.
