You heard wrong as far as the Serotta 7-11 bikes...
The gist of the story is that they got pressured into using some radically thin tubing...I believe made by True Temper. The frames had major problems...something like 20 failures...they blamed Serotta, Serotta blamed them/True Temper...etc.
They moved to Eddy Merckx.
