Well now... Been hacking into the underbrush of items which seem to have collected during the last (mumble-mumble) years of my life. The cabinet which these have lived in is being repurposed, so I need some space. Which means, I've finally have decided that someone else needs to be the curator for 18 years of BIKE magazine issues - Vol 1, No. 1 through Vol 18, No. 9. The first 15 years (through 2008) are complete - I'm missing issues 2, 3 and 4 from 2009 and issue 1 from 2010. If you are quicker than I am on addition, you've already figured out that there are 156 issues total.
Or, you just looked at the photo here -

Now - I realize this is reasonably non-Riv, though at the time this magazine came it, the writing and photography and even reviews distinguished it significantly from other offerings. Now, the "cutting-edge" stuff seems politely quaint (and much is laughably "transitional"...).
I'll be listing these locally and through a popular online auction site, but I figured that if anyone was interested, I'd let them go for a buck an issue, plus shipping (local-ish pickup OK). And shipping? Well, it gets heavy, so I think the best bet is actually USPS Flat Rate Priority Mail, which would be (I'm guessing) 4 Medium Boxes at $12/each. So $200 to an interested list member? I'll leave this posted for a couple days before I CL or EB.
The bar tape was hidden in behind the magazines - hence their inclusion here:
