Hi there, single speed fans.
In one of the bravest moves in publishing history, The Outcast magazine
managed to produce a daily, printed and online magazine from the
Interbike bike show in Las Vegas, september 2000.
What was so brave? Well, we went out of our way to make it the most
hazardous and daunting publishing job in the world. We didn't cover the
show - that's what the proper magazines do - we covered all
the beer drinking and parties that always accompany such large gatherings of
the cycling community.
Chipps went to all the parties and instead of truly partying he
pondered, then he typed up some stories and downloaded pictures to Biff,
the Outcast's designer.
Who was in England...
He designed it, pronto, and uploaded it to the Kinko's copy store
in Las Vegas who printed it out and delivered it to the show in time for
morning coffee (kind of), enabling still-hungover show-goers to see what they really
got up to the previous evening.
Of course, it was more trouble than it was worth, but memories of pain fade.
Those of you who weren't at the show can download the daily issues
in handy-dandy pdf format here. This is a rare moment indeed - we are
giving you are beloved content for free! Click the covers.
