looks like the owner is a huge otaku? is that a published manga or just a one off?

The back wheel of the V20 is so cool!

The cover page lists that there is a ride report about the differences between a road bike and the V20.

The second page describes the V20 (aluminum frame, carbon seat, drop handlebars, MBB and includes all of the parts on the V20 (Campagolo Super Record) Powertap PM, SPD pedals, bags, as well as what the rider recommends to wear.

He includes a pic of his cycling computer at 201km in 7H:24M.

Total distance was 517km
Ride time was 19H:53M

Can't tell exactly, but it looks like a custom paint job on the frame and seat, but could be stickers. It's weird though, I have only seen 1 other V20 out there, and it was set up for touring with panniers, a Scarab bag, and something behind the head.

I love it! Curious who did the beautiful artwork. Is this a widely distributed magazine?

 

[Robert Holler]

I have a few friends in that area working on trying to find this if it is indeed a printed publication.

The author is "nYolo" and it seems that he has only 1 other book "Footprints of Haru." I could be wrong, but it seems that nYolo is a small time writer who is into writing, Anime and cycling. I don't have a Twitter account so I can't investigate it further, but during my search the content came up somewhere on the Twitter account here. I am not sure if this is nYolo's Twitter account or just someone who linked to the content elsewhere.

I Googled "Rankine cyclist" (no luck) as well as the title

to see if I could find if it was a series, but no luck.

It is a "Doujinshi" (同人誌), also romanized as dōjinshi, is the Japanese term for self-published print works, such as magazines, manga, and novels.
It will be available in mid August 2022.

Japanese Anime manga is amazing.
