^ Pin-up adverts were the norm back then for all sorts of products. Far more in Europe than the US.
There were many 'risque' cycling too, but in regards to the Raleigh posted above, believe it was exclusive to that dealer and part of a series.
Times have changed and so convoluted that if BSA were around today with their 3guns on the headbadge, the bosses would be fired. Lol
