IIRC, the Serotta-built MURRAYs were used by 7-Eleven up to and including the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.

The Serotta-build HUFFYs were used by 7-Eleven when they began their European professional campaign in 1985. They might have still used MURRAY in 1985, switching to HUFFY in 1986.

By the latter years of the 7-Eleven team (before the switch to Motorola), they were having lugged steel frames built by Eddy Merckx, however (except for Andy, who was partial to having his frames built by John Slawta, of Landshark).
