The Marlboro Stiletto is neither smoke nor shoe

Another day, another bicycle manufacturer. Today's spot is this Marlboro Stiletto which ticks some new boxes for me. Seems to be following a pretty classic British bicycle design which is always made a little better when it's presented in black.
Here's the Marlboro head badge, the addition of the front reflector seems a modern after-thought.
A simple chain guard.
And here's that strange name, the Stiletto. Maybe it'd make more sense if this was a women's framed bike?
