A curious photgraph from Shimano
I'm in the process of scanning a 1974 Shimano corporate profile. This is one of the images that kind of gave me a chuckle:
"mother nature beckons to her children, come and live free."
Anybody have a better caption?

There's another small photo of it .. no decals but it has chrome head lugs, chrome stays but no head badge. Looks like it's the full 1st. generation Dura Ace group.

It's pretty obvious that the leaping is taking place several feet behind the bicycle and they're obviously excited about a little action behind the bushes. Here's the "after" photo, She looking a little disheveled and has silly grin on her face. He's had to change his clothes and and has that "Oh yeah, I just did that" look. My initial reaction to the bicycle was a repainted Fuji Finest. However, the rake looks a bit heavy and the chainstays a bit long.

I thought it might be a Newest but the head lugs don't match up ...
