Way before Bo biked 'Bama

Bo Jackson and Nike had the "cross training" campaign rolling full steam ahead when Bo's budding career was cut short. One of the marketing pieces that was created was the "Don't I Know You?" poster. On it, Bo is holding a steel framed bike. Anyone know what it was? I can't find a larger image of the poster anywhere to inspect further.
Also, on the TV commercial, he is holding what I can only assume is the same steel framed bike. Again, anyone have any guesses?

Why is this important? It isn't. I'm just curious what Bo rides. Or what Wieden+Kennedy told him to hold during the photo/video shoots.

There's some writing on the TT, but not enough resolution to make it out [for me, anyway].
