CrankMail was a bicycling mini-magazine, a micropress 'zine, that served bicyclists in the Greater Cleveland, Ohio, area since early 1975 (maybe earlier) through 2008. Over the years we've seen a lot of changes. We've gone from typewriters to desktop publishing, and from the printing press to the World Wide Web. All in about 30 years! The CrankMail Web site first went online July 14, 1996. Most bicycle clubs in this area used CrankMail as the medium for their newsletter information. The Adobe PDF archive published here is the most complete collection we currently have. Unfortunately issues before 1999 were not preserved as PDFs either because of space limitations or, more commonly, because those issues were created before desktop publishing was available using cut-and-paste prepress techniques. Later issue files may not have been preserved by their creators -- we are seeking to fill in the gaps.

You will need the free Adobe Reader software running on your computer in order to view these files. You can read on-screen, print out what pages you want, even use the Reader's built-in search features to find what you are looking for in each issue!
