Specialized's classic sports touring bike.

They bought it back in the past year.

Tim designed the first Sequoia, 1981 or so. He left right before I started working for Specialized around July 1982. I redesigned all the bike frames, including the Sequoia model, as one my first tasks. This was my design. Jim Merz
