MSH1 C-Sport SuperJet
I'm a sucker for user submitted content...so when Matt Klucha of MSH1 Bicycle Works returned from a successful showing at the European Handmande Bicycle Exhibition and sent me his latest offering I couldn't help but post it.
Here is what Matt Klucha has to say about his latest creation. With respect to commuting and city cycling, I revealed a new model of my bicycles called the C-Sport SuperJet (City Sports/touring) for fast agile commuting & city riding – a bike for the commuter that already has a bike with fenders/panniers, etc., but wants a faster/lighter/more agile commuter for those days when all that extra baggage is not required. I lived in Toronto and Ottawa for many years commuting by bike and I found that my daily bike (finders, racks, etc.) was not something that I wanted to ride when the weather was nicer, or a weekend trip through the city, day trip, night out, etc., but still wanted city handling, and ergonomics, simplicity and reliability and a gearing system. This bike has an internal hub with 14 gears, with the look of a fixie).

We’re All Cannibals | Eddy Merckx Cycles
While I applaud them for taking a risk, I feel that the new We're All Cannibals ad for the Eddy Merckx cycles misses the mark. But not by much. I should first say that I love this tagline...or at least the idea of this tagline. The idea of Merckx cycles devouring the competition is spot on. I just don't think showing a solo Tom Boonen bloody faced is enough to sell the idea of 'we're all'.
Here is how I see it. I'd like to see all the Quick Step riders lined up team photo style in the jungle with a boiling cauldron behind them. Strewn about the surrounding area would be bicycle and apparel from all of their competitor brands looking as if they have just been savagely torn off a person. To me that say's "Eddy Mercykx bikes' are cannabalizing the competition".
But, in the end...I'll say this for the ad. It's a page stopper. And in the game of advertising...you can't ask for anything more.
This and that
