I too bought the first issue of Two Wheel Trip... as an almost-teen I was hugely into cycling on my beloved yellow Schwinn Varsity, I rode it forever. Two Wheel Trip had artwork that was mesmerizing and articles that made even hopping onto the saddle the start of an adventure. I have wonderful memories of this short-lived magazine!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492685525705691186.post-26852213372614562032020-12-27T09:31:33.175-05:002020-12-27T09:31:33.175-05:00Check with Velo-retro website.

They sell reproduction posters, etc. They don’t have the Two Wheel Trip posters shown on the website, but contact them because they might still be able to make them. They did a pair for me based on scans of the magazine covers.Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110998345857993287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492685525705691186.post-26292666648940827292020-12-27T09:01:55.528-05:002020-12-27T09:01:55.528-05:00I am looking for the poster of the cover of the se...I am looking for the poster of the cover of the second issue...not sure one was ever produced...your answer sort of implies you might have both posters.

Only reason I purchased it was because I was in the large photo showing Hellyer Park Velodrome racing in San Jose. I was the kid wearing the colors of Irish flag, green, white, and orange. Which was superimposed over a larger photo of me looking like a blur riding by. I was riding a custom made, Reynolds 531 throughout, George Stone track bike from Stones Cycles, Cromac Square, Belfast. My Dad had both a road and track frame built, but he only brought the track frame when we moved to San Jose in early 60's.<br />Too cool.....Pauljoe blowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147075111384753354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8492685525705691186.post-53421260750869682952014-10-01T09:39:28.083-04:002014-10-01T09:39:28.083-04:00Oh, man, I would totally buy a poster with the art...Oh, man, I would totally buy a poster with the artwork from that premier issue.
