HA! I've got the following issue, where a couple female letters-to-the-editor writers dropped their subscriptions because of this cover! Miffed that the word "seduced" was placed next to a full-figured woman in tight fitting clothes!

I have that issue. I bought my DeRosa from the original owner and he said “I saw that magazine cover with that beautiful girl and knew I had to have that bike!” . I think he was already married. Along with the bike, he gave me the magazine and the catalog/brochure from that year, the one with Ugo in the blue lab coat.

Looks like my girl in 86... Of course at 70 she still looks good but I never been able to get her on a bicycle... Ha
Now days it would be a carbon bike, subdued in color, and the girl even with the same figure, would need shorter hair, plugs instead of earrings, and of course tattoos...
