Matching Shimano components to a Serotta frame is blasphemous. Shame

you. This is an April Fools Day joke right?

Hmm, what frames made the Serotta name? I gotta say the 7-11 team
frames. Even though labelled Huffy, anyone who knows about Serotta or
high end bikes knows they were made by Serotta.

And what components did 7-11 use on their Serotta frames?

SHIMANO!

Altho some were made by Ben, lots were not and none were decaled as a
"Serotta". Coors lite used Sachs for a while...

Many of the 7/11 frames were also Merckx...

That's interesting, Peter. I didn't know Merckx made frames for 7-11.
I know they did for Moto. If you look at the Serotta web site under
history, it talks all about Serotta making frames for 7-11 and being
the official framebuilder for the 7-11 team. It says Serotta also
made frames for Coors Lite.
