Note lack of Serotta decal (built by Slawta). Note True Temper decal on the toptube and Serotta on the chainstay.Īndy Hampsten’s 1988 Giro win was super impressive. Here's a little shrine to 7-Eleven with a 1988 Huffy Team Replica. Andy Hampsten won the 1988 Giro on this bike (but it was a Slawta/Landshark) and the first version of STI (8-speed) was tested on this bike. They had USA flags with HUFFY on the head tubes, Huffy on the front of one fork, and TRUE TEMPER on the front of the other fork blade. Most were made by Serotta but some riders bought their own from other builders. Bob Roll had a DeRosa for example - he says he just showed up at Ugo DeRosa's door one day and Ugo measured him and made him a frame for free!ġ988- Huffy labeled red and white bikes. Still Serotta, still True Temper, except by now some of the team had started to buy their own frames because of the failures. and he has clipless pedals!ġ987 - Huffy-labeled red and white bikes. Alexi's bike also seems to have some customizing. There were seven men on the inaugural 7-Eleven-Schwinn team in 1981:Įric Heiden - Olympic speed skater, USPro champion (the first?) and sports doctor.ĭanny Van Haute who would later become Team Director for Jelly Bellyīob Roll in his finest, and Alexi Grewal in the 1986 Tour de France.

This is a Serotta/Murray with Columbus tubing, so it would be 1984 or 1985 according to Ben Serotta. I also know that Serotta made both Huffys and Murrays, but there were definitely other Huffys and Murrays that were not Serottas. That's Raul Alcalá in the photo, he joined 7-Eleven in 1986 and the photo is from 1987 so it's either a mistake about the photo, or a mistake about the date (and a change from what they previously reported. (Link removed.sorry, that link used to say that Serotta became the official supplier in 1986 but Serotta has changed its website and story now to say it was 1983) Please see photographs for details.I do know that Serotta became the official supplier in 1986. Both wheels are quite true and straight but could also use some touching up to be perfect.

Mechanically the bike rides, shifts and brakes okay but will need a complete tune up to reach it's full potential as one of our shop's mechanics has not tuned it up. There is a fair amount of surface rust throughout the frame but nothing that diminishes it's strength. The decals are peeling from the seat tube.
The paint is chipped and peeling in places most notably the bottom bracket shell.
