I just came across this article from May 2024 about Gay recovering her CBS race bike that was stolen about 30 years ago. https://www.hopestandard.com/trendin...stolen-7361366
From the info in the article I would guess this bike was built in the early 80s by Seki, who still seems to be around and has a record of all the frames he built. Here is my wife's race bike, built in 1983 I think.
