Thanks Mate. That is another informative ad. After I posted this, it came to me that there might be similar pages in the galleries but I'm not sure. I was reading the Diamondback catalogs the other day.
I see this is a Retro Forum and I think in the UK there is a more exclusive "3 speed" type of forum somewhere I've only heard about for really vintage velos.
Still, there's no excuse for people not to post interesting finds:
Nice, some of the early French posters can be real "Va-Va-Va-Voom" if you know what I mean, the Liberte cycles ad for one. This Royal Fabric is a bit of a "travelogue" type of poster.
I have the Hercules "Coronation" Ad here at home.

I'll just post some links! All bike ads though....
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3311/345 ... a6bd_b.jpg Looks like it could be the same model as the one in Stick Legs post.
That ad also reminds me a lot of the very vintage http://www.art.com/products/p10070727-s ... 75915aafef Culottes Velo Ski poster which seems to have made the rounds to bicycling magazines and the like. Rather arousing like many have been.
Before this goes to far, for the women, I've even seen one I think that has more than even this one: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_atrK-jBKJKY/S ... osters.jpg
I like "Liberator", had it as my computer wallpaper for awhile. http://rlv.zcache.com/liberator_cycles_ ... wm_400.jpg Some places sell those old posters, the French certainly had their share of paintings with beauties in them but I really like the warrior of Gaul.
