Anyone need a new avatar?
 
I'm not cool enough to use it ...

I ran across this ad on the back of a '64 Life magazine. Can anyone identify the bike?

classic bikes and gear classic smokes and I like the blonds coat. Man what a bizzar look back. When I was 16 we would stop for smoke breaks on our rides in pennypack park, great trails if your ever in philly you have to try them, but our smoke didnt come in packs

You were poor and had to smoke handrolled cigarettes too? :D

Bar end shifters = tourist.
Leather hairnet = racer.
Blunder, but classic... at least he didn't have tube socks on.

I think the bar-ends are Simplex, the brakes are Universal and we are talking 1964, not 1974, so I don't think this is Japanese (unless you meant Universal Junky Bike). This looks a bit nicer than that. Chromed fork-ends front and rear, chrome fork crown with cutout, chrome lugs on headtube (possibly with cutouts -- hard to tell). Plus, the guy smokes Chesterfields, so he wouldn't ride a crappy bike. This is a back-cover-Life-ad brand folks -- not some page 30 smoke ... :p
