What bike is this? From old Scientific and Technical Catalogue

I'd guess late 70s / early 80s going by the blurb about the music cassettes. The "Supergroups" pack has ABBA included, so that definitely puts it into that kind of timespan.

good spot, are the cassettes or 8-track cartridges? Look quite thick for cassettes but I may be wrong.

Blondie and Boney M too. According to Wikipedia 1978 was Boney M's biggest year, it was also the year Blondie's Parallel Lines came out.

So I'll guess early 80s. Or maybe '79 at a pinch.

early 80's as it takes a while for compilation tapes to make it into the catalogue.....

Yeah, I'm guessing early 80's, but a firm year might end narrowed the search,

It's the Autumn/Winter 1981/1982 catalogue.

Forget about the bike. We need more nostalgic shots of 80s type stuff for sale in this catalog.

13 years before the launch of the Playstation in 1994.

I had one of those little Casio music keyboards myself. Always looked forward to getting the scientific and technical catalogues back then. Amazing what you store in the loft. A bit of a nostalgia buzz anyway.

Those short guards were enough to protect headset, brakes, and the underside of a cheap leather saddle.
