I think I can only give you partial credit for that answer. A great American, to be sure. Not sure about the "racer" part, though.

It did occur to me that Andy Hampsten is producing a small line of bikes....
Hampsten Cycles | Unique custom road frames and whole bikes
so I figure that should count.
and if anyone doesn't know the story of Andy winning the stage of the Giro d'Italia, you should definitely look it up. Here's one link to some info on the story and his bike...
Historic Pro Bike: Andy Hampsten's 1988 7-Eleven Huffy Giro d'Italia | Cyclingnews.com

okay, back to the actual topic of the thread... sorry for the diversion.
