The story of this particular bike, according to John, is as follows: It was originally made for the movie American Flyers, which was released in 1985. The bike then was raced for a while, but never by one of the 7-11 pros. John came across it in Wheat Ridge CO.
Thats what I know. Of course, now I have to go rent American Flyers, see if I can spot the bike, and bask in the glory that is Kevin Costner.
Thanks to John for trusting us with his bike, so that we can share it's glory with all our fellow bike geek friends.





I watched the movie yesterday and saw the Murray bike. I was thinking what the... I didn't know Murray made race bikes. I thought they were limited to cheap k-mart type bikes... The black 7-11 rider had the bike.
