Formerly quarterly, the Chipps-and-Alker UK-based magazine will have six issues in 2004. Subscribers and IBD stockists will get issues printed free of "distracting" coverlines.

Singletrack mag ups the ante by going bi-monthly

Singletrack’s on-sale schedule looks like this:

2003

Issue 12 – 12th December

2004

Issue 13 – 19th February

Issue 14 – 15th April

Issue 15 – 17th June

Issue 16 – 19th August

Issue 17 – 21st October

Issue 18 – 9th December

The coverline-free covers was an idea suggested by a reader and, according to Mark Alker "should give IBDs the edge over newsagents."
