Oroboyz,
Ted forgets to take credit for building Gorski's Olympic Gold Medal wining bike ('84) and Connie Paraskevin's World Championship bike ('83). Connie's bike was produced and painted in less than one day. Gorski's bike was a "Murray" and Connie's was painted Bianchi Green with no decals...I did the painting on both and some minor tasks on Connie's - filing and such.
Ted also supplied some bike to Russian teams for the Tour Du Pont around 1990.
Later,
Jim Allen
