I also love the charm of getting a BQ in the mail but I still have to disagree. Bike porn is better in color. In particular, I saw color pictures online of the Toei that was reviewed in BQ and I felt that the printed black and white photos really failed to convey the loveliness of the bike.
On the other hand, I understand that printed color photos are too expensive. My suggestion would be that BQ articles on new bikes and equipment have an associated online archive of color photos. These would give subscribers a better look and would also serve as online advertising to attract non-subscribers who want to read the details in BQ about the gear in the online photos.
