Question: were the Serotta-built MURRAY frames also used by the 7-Eleven team, or did Murray sponsor someone else?
Just wondering, as I have a Murray-Serotta with early C-Record. This one has an "S-bend" chainstay on one side only. Here's a pic:

Sorry if a year or two off topic, but it looks much like the "Colorado" frame on the CR Serotta page.
Thanks,
