When Chad from Above Category, our US partner for the past 15 years, came to us with his next project, we already knew it was going to be a remarkable build.
Campagnolo, ENVE, Chris King, Challenge Tyres (specifically gumwall, of course) and Busyman came through. And then, at the centre of it all, something truly special: a nearly 40-year-old team-issued skinsuit worn by one of cycling’s biggest names of the ’80s, delivered in a plastic bag with a handwritten note that read, “You have Phil, we have Bob (Roll).”
For those familiar with professional cycling in the ’80s, the 7-Eleven team needs no introduction. The team is remembered for many reasons: the first US team to race in Europe, a talented roster of North American riders, and Andy Hampsten’s Giro d’Italia triumph in 1988. But it is its iconic red, emerald, and white livery that is arguably the most recognisable and enduring of them all.
This build will be on display all weekend at SPOKEN in Sydney. If you can make it, we look forward to seeing you there!
