And his bike:
Sammy Hagar's Original Mountain Bike - The Red Rocker | Sammy Hagar (The Red Rocker)
It was a fairly generic Gary Fisher with all black components. IIRC sales were hampered by supply issues.

Risikhi (sumo wrestler) Tochinoshin [Georgian (the country) born Levan Gorgadze]
Interesting career, capped by winning the top basho in January 2018. He's 6' 3.5" and normally competes around ~400#. His killer technique is a left outside, right inside grasp of his opponent's mawashi, lifting and carrying them off the dohyō.

Pope John Paul II, who was apparently into cycling, with a gifted Colnago made just for him.
The story is he returned this to Colnago and requested (and got) a bike with upright bars. ITALIAN CYCLING JOURNAL: Colnago for Pope John Paul II

Paul Rudd with a Vitus. Technically, he’s not on it and an internet search did not provide the back story as to whether or not it’s his.

Headbadge resembles Bianchi but the style looks more like a clubman setup of the era
*edit*
Twiggy at 61 and still on a bike. Found this while researching the previous bike. Lots of bike pix of her.

It was a fairly generic Gary Fisher with all black components. IIRC sales were hampered by supply issues.
from SFgate: " In 1986, he bought Corte Madera Cyclery, later capitalizing on the mountain bike craze by building custom bikes, including the Red Rocker, Hagar's own model. A year later, he opened Sausalito Cyclery, pulling in $4 million in annual sales.He eventually left the bike business and forayed into fashion. "
Sausalito Cyclery is very famous among the coGnescenti
