I don't want to hijack this thread, but in the new book, The Competition Bicycle, there's a story about Huffy sponsoring the 7-Eleven team that Andy Hampsten rode for in the mid/late eighties, but that Serotta actually built most of the team bikes. The frame of Andy's Serotta team bike broke in the spring of 1988, so Andy had John Slawta of Landshark build him a new frame made from ultralight Tange Prestige tubing with walls that were just 0.4mm thick at the ceter of the tubes. This was the bike Andy used to win the 1988 Giro d'Italia, and it had "Huffy" and "True Temper" decals on it.
