My 7-Eleven Team Issue is like hers: no chrome & has a number hanger. I'd be interested to know if there's a rider name on the non-drive side of the top tube, in the same position as the 7-Eleven Team decal.

When I emailed the Merckx factory, I sent the email on 01/02/2008, and received a response on 01/07/2008.

Also keep in mind they're in Belgium, so the time zones will affect when they receive the email and respond.
