I'm surprised this didn't show up in that pinups thread a couple of months ago.

You'd think they'd at least use a Superior.

Sheesh! Mrs. Sporty looks way better. She at least coordinates with the surroundings.

Some habits are hard to break even when not exercised in over thirty years. I can remember always seeking out the hidden bunny emblem that always appeared somewhere on Playboy magazine covers. And, sure enough, I copied and pasted the pic so that I might be able to find the mascot. Can anyone see it?

I think it may be on her hip, northeast of the butterfly. Such innocent times.

actually compared to what you see at the magazine stands these days, maxum, the biker, car and workout mags this cover is pretty tame.

MrIGH is it just the angle of the pic or... *giggle*

Hmm, the first thing I noticed was her right leg duplicated the rake angle of the seat tube.

Next was the bike shoes.

Then, about a dozen double entendre's entered my mind, and I had to quit.

That model's name is Christy Miller. I googled a bit out of curiosity, but came up empty on her current whereabouts.

That rossin poster was one of many 'interesting' ones they put out. I made the mistake of googling Rossing one day while at work. Oops.

OK, opening bets on what saddle that bike is sporting...

My money is on something like a Brooks Swallow, the way it has pushed her pants right in.
