I got this Shimano borchure in the mail in Dec. 1982.
At that point I don't know that Bobby was on Shimano or not but they were still advertising his signature product. I'd imagine this shows correct sticker placement.

Brian,
Does the bike in the ad have a grip shift, or just a lever. For what it's worth, the Huffy Pro Thunder Z2 bike had shimano components for it's two speed setup. Of course, it didn't have DX cranks.

It has what looks like a combination white plastic thumb shifter below a shimao DX lever.

Wow, I do not remember that ad.Or ever seeing that bike, the gusset looks like it's from an an old Suzuki frame.
