Need info on 1987 "Bicycling Magazine" issue

Hi, I'm trying to determine which issue of Bicycling Magazine in 1987 had coverage of the Gary Helfrich built "Rodale Press" titanium bike. I suspect that it may have been December or near then, since that's when they released their "Bike Tech" issue on the same bike, but I'm trying to get confirmation on that.

Alternately, if anyone knows what happened to the bike itself, I would also be very keen on finding that out.

Thanks!

I have that issue and it is not in December 1987 or the 3 issues before that. This link shows the Bike Tech article

Thanks Texbiker, I wonder if it's a 1988 issue then?

Yes, April 1988.
I have it and can post it by tomorrow.
Look for the Frames and Framebuilding (1988) Bicycling/Merlin Titanium Project Bike post.
