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.
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.
