As mentioned back in the Monday minutes post, Pull Magazine put out a teaser saying that they were releasing a special Cruiser Issue this month.
Well, it finally came in the mail today and I have to say, I’m kinda impressed.
Pull magazine tends to be ho-hum but it looks like they stepped up their efforts a bit with this issue.
There’s an editorial encouraging people to race in the cruiser classes, a cruiser shootout, an ad featuring George Goodall on a Redline 24 and an in-depth interview with Cruiser champ, Shawn DiPrete.
I was a bit disappointed with the cruiser shootout…it was not comprehensive enough…missing out on some big-name race cruisers and failing to go into much detail about the different bikes.
The Shawn DiPrete article was great though.
It’s pretty rare for a magazine to give a serious interview to a cruiser guy…but it was a interesting read. Pretty cool to find out what drives a guy like DiPrete.
