https://singletrackworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/then-and-now-19-years-of-advertising-singletrack-supporters/ Good article that. Brought back some memories. My first ever suspension bike (bypassed HT went straight to a FS) was a Kona Manumano. I remember the Ad (probably seen in the STW mag) and decided I had to have one.
Loved it. Next thing I know I’ve a shed full of bikes and a bunch of new mates to go on adventures with.
So who had what then?
Great article. I want to see all the Sideways ads though… is there an archive of those somewhere?
Here are some Cotic ones:

Those sideways ads were fab. I’m sure it was someone off here who illustrated them?
Just spotted that Cotic A: still have the same mobile number and B: it's made up of two Reynolds tubing numbers they use. How I didn't spot the second one ages ago I don't know.
Easy to remember, huh!

Although 531 has never been used by Cotic, even if we all had a bike made from it way back in the day. Actually, I think I had two… 531C road bike, and a Dynatech mtb.
