The world's greatest mountain bike magazine You do not want to be told what to buy, how to ride or where to go.
Privateer is for mountain bikers who already know the obvious; for riders who have paid their dues in sweat and dust and broken bone, and are irrevocably hooked. If you’ve got mountain biking and it’s got you, a deep emotional connection exists that is agony to even try and explain: a permanent bond with the trails, the sounds, the fear, the great outdoors, the beads of sweat, the coffee and cake,
the beer – a bond between rider, bike and terrain that grips forever. You much prefer to get closer to the spirit of the thing. We aim to remind readers why they got into mountain bikes in the first place and why they continue to love it.
Continued by other means:
I see many people still end up here even though Privateer has ceased publication. Those who are looking for the sort of magazine we created should go to https://www.cranked.cc/ and there you will find many of the people who made Privateer continuing the good work. Check us out.
Here's what you can expect to find in the final issue of Privateer, out on November 15, with subscribers sooner than that http://www.privateer.cc/2013/10/privateer-18-preview.html
