Death fork? Naaaah!!
Merckx are nice, but I'd rather see Huffy/Murray branded Serottas , or Hampsten's Landshark.

Note how the various rims — silver box, dark/black deeper section, tubular or clincher, spokes few or abundant — all look just great with that bike.

just for fun... a couple of photos from the 1982 edition of the Iron Horse Classic race in Durango, Colorado. A buddy and some of his friends were racing as Cat 3's, and I was just along for the fun of it.
There were a lot of the nation's top racers there, including some from the 7-11 team. When I look closely at the photos, it appears that they are riding Rossin bikes.
side note: since this was 1982, the photography was done with a very vintage Canon 35mm SLR with Kodak film. Don't recall whether it was slides or negatives. Hate to say it, but my modern DSLR does a better job. My nostalgia for old tech doesn't extend to photography.

1982 - 1983: According to Davis Phinney (in the 2008 March-April edition of Road Bike Action), the team rode Rossin frames.
Also, a blog reader sent me some photos of a bike he bought which was reportedly Ron Kiefel's 7-Eleven Rossin.

here are some of the 7-11 details of my photos from the '82 Iron Horse. These are just from my stash of photos, instead of what I've got up on flickr.
and from the road stage....
