IMO, this one isn't creepy or crazy but it is one of favourites, for sentimental reasons. When I was very young, we had an itinerant tinker who would come to town each year. He'd pedal through town of his tricycle, ringing his bell to notify the citizens. My mother would take out her seamstress scissors, which he would sharpen on his small treadle powered grindstone.

Was this a real Basso add or was it for someone else?

^^^... Pulleeze, this is a family oriented forum... 
@Bianchigirll Spandex is very stretchy but that looks Photo Shop to me.
On closer examination, the saddles in both of the above photos appear to be "anatomical models"

I believe this is an advertisement for Louis Garneau cycling apparel, as that appears to be be their logo on the shorts. I wouldn't expect Basso to feature a Canadian sportswear manufacturer in their promotional literature. Also, the model bears a very strong resemblance to one of their sales representatives.
