What a great ad! Well, the close-up of the guy's face is pretty gross with the sweat and all, but the bike pictures are cool.

Looks like an Italian bike (fork crown, seatpost binder), with Campy bar-end shifters and an Ambrosio adjustable stem. Mafac brakes are a little odd on a '64 Italian bike though eh? Anyone recognize the brand - Olmo maybe?

Yes it's stupid to pore over an old cigarette ad, but it's raining in Seattle and I'm procrastinating...
