I remember when I was a kid in the 80's, Stu Thomsen switched from Redline to Huffy. I thought it was awesome, as I had a Huffy at the time. I think I was 12 or 13 at the time. I had always wanted a Redline, and ended up getting a Mongoose Supergoose right around this time - it was my first "real" bike.
This ad brings back some serious memories - the Vans, the pants, Oakley goggles, numberplates. Not to mention that Stu looks like he's about 36 in this ad!
