Halliberton would have a hard time overcharging for bicycles when going up against some of the
better known Italian manufacturers in the peloton. They have it down to an art.
Seriously though, there was a US Army cycling team back in the 1970s when I began racing. I think Al
Toefield was involved in some way with it. One of the national road team members was on the Army
team. Can't recall his name off the top of my head. Nice guy. He raced a few times at Old Westbury
with us in the races that Vito Petrucci used to run.
