I am in nostagia mode I guess, because I have collected several vintage 7-Eleven team bikes in the last year or two. Presently I have an 87 Huffy Serrota road bike, and an 87 Huffy TT bike, both ridden by Jens Veggerby in the 88 TDF. I just completed an 89 Merckx TT team bike. I don't have a real Merckx 89 team road bike yet, but I do ride a Merckx replica that I bought a couple of years ago. I look forward to talking to all of you.
