My favorite brochure of all!!
It's a parody of the postcard strip that you would find in many tourist traps. That one happened to be from the Adirondacks (eerily prophetic). The guy on the tricycle getting written up by the kid cop is Dan Dennen who is my now former brother-in-law who worked for a couple of years at Fat City as the machinist. If there ever was a trials class for guys over 230 pounds, he would win hands down! I don't remember who the kid was.
The tower is at Prospect Hill which is considered to be the site of the first flying of the American flag in 1776. The tower was built in 1903 to commemorate the event. The tower overlooks Union Square in Somerville where Fat City was and has great views of Boston.
The bottom photo is Chris Chance holding the bike up to a bunch of supposedly astonished Frenchmen (or Belgians or who really knows). I think they got a bunch of old geezers hanging around Union Square to pose for the shot.
The cards were all perforated and were addressed. We got them sent back to us from all over and it was always fun to see where they would come from.
I noticed the copy about the Monster does say 1991 so I would guess that this is the 1991 brochure. I used to have a pile of them but lost them all in 2003. More significant since Dan was a family member as well as a fellow Fat worker and rider.
Also, the Yo doesn't have the Yo Eddy decals, we probably hadn't gotten them finished in time for the photo shoot. Same for the Slim and that one has down tube shifter mounts which quickly fell out of favor with the advent of brake lever shifters. Not sure how many Slims actually had the shifter mount braze-ons but I would guess that not many of them do.
Thanks for finding that
