Sheldon Brown posted links to several old Bridgestone catalogs on his website.

I absolutely love the art in the 1985-88 catalogs. Does anyone know the artist?


The catalogs are located near the bottom on the Bridgestone page of Brown's site.

I think you'll have to contact Grant Petersen of Rivendell and find out who the ad agency was that made them, then contact the agency. They are nice.

That's what i was going to say. I still have those catalogs, too, and they're just fun to read. Grant was Bstone's product designer, I think, and I'm pretty sure he edited the catalogs as well. Try grant@rivbike.com. I've contacted him about several things for newspaper and magazine stories, and he's always been helpful.
