Old MBUK retail ads

[CrossFred1978]

Might of been asked before and sounds a bit boring but did anybody have a favorite or go-to Retail shop advert
from back in the day? Mine were Super Cycles and Merlin, Merlin used to do the deals for pairs of wheels very cheap.
And i loved the way Super Cycles listed all the Shimano stuff at very good prices- i remember thinking have i got enough
for that £6 Deore DX front mech...

Anyone remember ‘Yellow Bike’ I think it was called? Bought quite a bit of discounted American exotica from them; Techlite levers, Machine Tech canti’s etc

Cheque spread, yes did that with a frameset. Post dated cheques and all that
Good times
