What magazines did you have under your bed as an early teenager?
I had a ridiculous pile, that I would lust over every night before going to sleep.
"Cycling Weekly" for me. A very cheap publication but I had the hots for a "JT Rogers" frame, "Fiamme" wood insert alloy wheels, "Lyatard" platform peddles, "Chater Lea"chain sets,
centre pull brakes (can't just remember details) and lots more bits and pieces.
After many weeks as a voyeur, I finally put together my own fantastic road bike.

Lots of very explicit Dutch porn. If you only had Razzle, you weren't trying imo.
Smash hits in the late 70's but that soon lead on to the more harder mags like Record Mirror NME and Melody Maker.
AP says Cycling Weekly when he really means Village Bike. 
The imaginatively titled 'Motorcyle Racing' and 'Everyday Electronics'. Motorcycle Racing came with a4 size pictures, many of which I put on my wall and it was a bit grim as many of them were killed (John Williams, John Newbold, Tom Herron, Patrick Pons). Everyday Electronics was great, they speculated that in the future (80s and beyond) every home would have a computer that put the dinner on and closed the curtains. You could also build things, like a device that flashed a light in the shed, if you were in the shed and your wife wanted you to come and open a tin. These devices were always so small they fitted inside something about the size of a shoe box and had big knobs and switches all over them.
There was a football mag, I think it was called Match. That and New Scientist.
Sounds (especially when Bushell, Paphides, McCulloch and Geoff Barton were writing for them - think I must have had every copy from 1975 - 1981!)
I used to waste pocket money on motorbike and custom car mags, I say waste because I never ended up owning neither.

My dad had stacks of porn, so I didn't need to keep it, I just went and got it as I wished.
