Road Test/Bike Review (1989) Buyers' Guide -- Table of Specifications

The 1989 Bicycling magazine Buyers' Guide contained a Table of Specifications covering 302 bikes.
This table has separate sections for Racing, Mountain, Sport/Touring, and Women's models.

Here's a cloud link to the folder that contains a pdf file of the full table (i.e. all models) as well as separate files for each section: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AgHfxA8atbGnlg2S...IGmPs?e=q9Yy5M
These files will be available for a couple of weeks or so.

The 1989 Buyers' Guide issue also featured eight bikes and those articles were posted here:

Welcome to Bike Forums and to Classic & Vintage in particular.
Yes, I have the magazines.
Whether I have any scans for an issue depends on the issue.

Thank-you very much. Was there an issue that year that had a woman on the cover, besides April? (my memory is no longer great). Thank-you

Doesn't that cover about half the Bicycling covers for any given year?

First link is to a password-protected page BTW. Any way to post it somewhere that it can be accessed anonymously/privately?
