almost forgot about this back cover from a 1985 issue of Bicycling!
Odd that the bike is branded Murray. I recall some Olympic bikes being branded Huffy, but don't recall Murray.



Other trivia... I went to college at Iowa State University around this time, and frequented Michael's Cyclery. This shop was run by Mike Fatka, who also ran the Skunk River Cyclists racing team. This team included Andy Hampsten at the time, and there was a little "shrine" in the back of the shop dedicated to Andy's various victories. A very cool shop, and I've accumulated a few of the SRC and Levi's/Raleigh team jerseys of the era.
Jeff Bradley, also a member of the 7-Eleven team, was racing for Fatka's SRC team at the time too. He currently has a bike shop about 90 miles from me.
