Sometime in 1993 I was designing some promotional materials for Dupont, who had come out with some lubricants for the bike market. You may remember their Teflon grease that came in syringes. The concept for the bike store display was to show a bike with the areas that could benefit from the lubrication "glowing". I hired a photographer, Mike Furman, who had a lot of experience with bikes and the bike industry. I asked him to find a "model" who would be shown on the bike. I specified a black bike and black clothing on the rider so we could focus on the parts of the bike that would use the lube. The model he came up with was Rebecca Twig.

I just dug out some of the outtakes and scanned one to show the CR list. See the link above. This photo does not have any of the "enhancements" that we would add to have the "glow." If anyone on the list have the display or any other materials showing this image, I'd love to see one. Thanks!
