Nicely found Mr K!
Not much info on the net about these, appreciated

I think a gallery of small ads would cool, open so people could add more when they get round to scanning.

WTF is "Bottom Bracket Suck"?

The same as 'chain suck' but with bigger chunks

you need to post up some of the funny ones like the dodgy flexstem copy that was made from a flat sheet of metal with a curved piece underneath.

What about the " REAR STEER" ?

I need to get a scanner. I have a stack of MBAs THIIIIIS tall.

"ROCK RING" ,"BITE BACK"
hahah

If anyone ever comes across the british version of this add (might be in colour) from late 1991 please send it on, It would complete my paper trail for my one. It might have had a review in the same mag (perhaps MBUK).

I've got the MBI new technology supplement somewhere with a review of the Hope disc system. I'll try to dig it out and then try even harder to get my retro scanner working. Funny how they used a 6-bolt fitting for the disc back then.....

IMHO the best little ad had to be the one for the "banana" that was supposed to rest your chest.
Do you remember this one piece of modern thinking?
If I remember correctly, it attached to the seat tube and provided a cushion between the saddle and stem. Very nice and not dangerous.
Anyone got a pic?
