And so it was written...

Andy rode primarily for the 7-11 team, on lugged steel Merckx machines (classic content!) He may have held on into the team's change in sponsorship to Motorola, when Lance Armstrong debuted.

But I say...

...that in fact Andy's Merckx was a Landshark, or at least a John Slawta-built frame, in disguise. For the last few years of the Merckx deal, at least. I have the vaguest recollection that suggests he rode another American custom (a Tesch?) similarly labeled as another brand (geez, I dunno; a 7-11 Huffy/Serotta?) early in his career.

Regarding eastern bloc rides, mentioned this morning: Ciocc claimed to provide frames to Poland and the USSR teams around 1979 or 1980.
