Mike Melton was at Murray at the time and did alot of the fabrication work. I met Mike and saw the design studio at Murray-- both quite impressive. I have been told that alot of the design work was based on the wind tunnel testing of Chester Kyle ( then at MIT I think). I have an Olympic bike and a Pan Am bike from '83. The workmanship was designed to"do the job"-- not fancy but purpose-built and they modified Dura Ace AX components and fabricated other parts(handle bar/stem combo with front brake attached to the bottom of the stem) as needed. A great chapter in American cycling history. Alan Bernstein -- you turn the clocks back and suddenly its winter in the Big Apple.
