Finally had a chance to frame a poster I picked up from a book shop near Chicago when Grant was on his book tour. They were going to pitch it, and I was happy to save it from that fate. I thought it would be cool to see what posters you have hanging around. Post your posters here!

I picked this one up at Goodwill some 10 years ago, already framed. It has hung in my garage ever since.
(I conscientiously assured the other shoppers and the checkout clerk that I was interested in the bicycle.)
Does anyone know where I can get these:

Here are a few of my bicycle-related pieces of art. I got one bedroom to go hog wild with bike stuff, so I did.

Nice contributions so far.
Here are mine: a Bridgestone and a Hiawatha. Hard to photograph at night with light reflecting off the glass.
I look forward to seeing more offerings.

I made my entry rather "bike heavy," the rest of the apartment has "normal" art. It does leave an eccentric first impression.

Cain't have them nekkid ladys on our store shelves. As much as I admire aspects of the Christian South, whence come my ancestors (those who are not Filipino Catholics), it's too bad that belief has to come with narrowmindedness and, frankly, stupidity.

John, I am not commenting on your comment. I'd like to ride behind her to, though I'd chastely avert my face. Right? Right?*
But I did want to reconsider my earlier comment about the wine label, and put on record some thoughts about the poster itself, and the reaction of others to it.
First, a comment about poster art: back then, commercial art sometimes nudged the lower boundaries of fine art. This one is not the best by any means, but it does show a great deal of talent in the images, their juxtaposition, the colors, and the overall "style." It's one of the better commercial cycling posters, IMO.
Next: the nekkid girl. I certainly have no objection to the display, even public, of the human body; anyone who finds his masturbatory or otherwise lickerish tendencies fueled by this gal is, well, pretty damn' lame. One of the most majestic statues I've seen was a 18" high bronze temple statue which my father bought in India 50 years ago, of Shiva and Parvati, both nude except for small and doubtless diaphanous wrappings about their loins. This one is sacred nudity, and I'm not kidding when I say that.
But the poster: while I don't find it offensive at all (Huh! It has hung in my garage adjacent to an icon of the Theotokos for 10 years), I wonder if the artist and his patron weren't just possibly using the titillating aspect of the female form to sell bikes. ("Hey! Caught your eye, didn't it!") What do y'all think? Is this nudity for the sake of beauty, or nudity for the sake of selling things?
And on to the main point: the dumbhead hicks who find it offensive on their grocery shelves. Sure, I don't find it offensive, but good, believing, not well educated, fundamentalist-type southern folk: don't we have the obligation to respect their limitations? After all, while I can laugh at Wm Howard Taft's condescending description of my mother's people as "Our little brown brothers," I wouldn't joke around about this with my multitudinous aunts, uncles, and cousins of varying degrees of consanguinity.
And some of these southern hick Christians are white! We have to respect their feelings, too! I do think that, as St. Paul counsels, we who are more experienced ought nonetheless to take pains not to offend those whose sense of offense might be less than mature.
* Anecdote: driving my sometimes censorious sister home from the airport, cruising up Golf Course Road. We pass a very interesting, old school road bike, and I crane my neck to take a look as we drive past. My sister scolded me. The rider was a very nubile blonde, but Mom, I swear, I was looking at the bike! And I was, actually.

Loving all the posters! Keep em coming. M D Smith, that mobile is terrific - what's the story with that? I have another one at the frame shop now, and one or three others to go. This is inspiring me to get them out of the flat file and get them on the wall.

"Is this nudity for the sake of beauty, or nudity for the sake of selling things?"
YES. In this case I believe the image fulfills BOTH purposes. They are not mutually exclusive.
Cheers!

This one is my all-time favorite. Just back from the frame shop. Andrew Denman is the artist - he's a familiar name at Rivendell, and right up there with Rebour and Patterson in my book. I live along a stream that is often the fishing grounds for the great blue heron, and I think of this poster every time I stir one up from his lunch break.
Check out Andrew's work here...

This is a 1975 poster for the long gone Velo Sport Bicycles in Berkeley. The artist is David Lance Goines, whose work Bay Area folks may recognize from Chez Panisse and Freight & Salvage.
