I wonder if any of the team sponsors had input/compensation regarding that
commercial. Despite the "swoosh" and tagline at the very end, the only
corporate image I'm left with is the big AMD logo at the bottom of the
jersey that's pretty much centered in the frame of the final shot.

Nike sucks, by the way. And if I was able to convert oxygen better than any
human who has ever been measured I could win bike races too.

Both Huffy and Murray were generous and conspicuous pro
sponsors in the eighties

You didn't notice the Montgomery Street sign? I thought that was
interesting.

And you trained like a madman. And you had an insatiable desire to
win. And you were impervious to the suffering, etc.

You know it's just killing Peter that Campagnolo hasn't been on a
winning TdF bike since last century. ;-)

Lately a lot of bicycles which resemble choppers, with all the chrome,
long forks, weird geometry, ornamentation and high handlebars have
been showing up in downtown Santa Cruz. I think someone has a custome
shop doing them, not a bad idea, though I'd be the last to try riding
one up a hill, or down one for that matter.

I didn't think that looked like a BMX, more like one of those really
small bikes with the solid tires my younger brother started on. Maybe
that's Luke, he's what, 4 and 1/2 now?

Don't forget to train or you'll wind up like Jan.

BTW, Nike, or their marketers, are brilliant enough that they don't
need to worry about whether you remember the swoosh and tagline.
The very look of the ad is enough to tell you it's a Nike ad.
(Remember the Nike ads during the last World Cup with soccer players
in a steel cage tournament on a ship? The computer graphics and
lighting were very similar. And so on.) Right now, they can put
an ad on and not even show the swoosh and you'll be subconsciously
thinking Nike. Soon they'll only show the swoosh and slogan as a
legal requirement, like the way political ads have to name the sponsor.
Shortly after that, even the absence of the swoosh will be a Nike
marketing tool. This prediction was only a few years too early:

It reminds me of coming up the back side of Mt. Tamalpais on Bolinas-Fairfax
Road from Alpine Dam to Ridgecrest.

www.thepaceline.com sez:
PS - Several readers have asked about the music from the commercial -
here's the inside word from the commercial's producer: "It's an
original score by a music house in Los Angeles we work with quite a
bit... we supply ideas, inspiration and direction with various tracks
and then work with them scoring to picture."

Probably won't show up on iTunes anytime soon, then.

Mmmm, 144 spoke wheels. Nice. That's almost a disc.

I remember one of the first discs Mavic made. Aluminum. Heavy bastards. Like
two heavy gauge woks welded together. Of course the prevailing logic at the
time was that heavy was good, as it would help to cancel out any
fluctuations in speed. Mavic then went on a few years later to create the
Comete ± where you could actually add steel weights to the outer perimeter
of the disc for the same [bad] reason.

Reminds me of one of those things you do as a kid. My brother and I
found we could open a Sears tire pump and fill it with water. It was
only a matter of time until we were cruising around with waterfilled
tires. It took some time to get one of those big old bikes (what
they'd call cruisers today) up to speed, but man could they coast!
