Bruce Gordon 80s Advert
I was at Dale Saso's recently and he had this advert, which he graciously allowed me to take to scan and share online. I'm surprised that Bruce was able to print this, the paper is a nice stock and must have been expensive. The bike in the background is pretty interesting too, looks like a mountain bike which he didn't make many of.

BG and Sky were riding matching MTBs, which of course were exquisite. Bruce was adamant that he was on vacation, not there to sell bikes, so to the many people who came up to him all like "wow Bruce Gordon makes MTBs now? Tell me about X Y and Z" he would reply "I dunno anything about it, I just bought it because it was blue." He and Sky were using fake names, chosen from characters in "Lake Woebegone Days". Jacquie and I were cracking up but we didn't blow his cover.
Did he make more lugged MTBs beyond those two?
