The aero arms race of the late-80s led to wild designs like the "funny bike," which used a smaller front wheel to get the rider as low as possible. Top bike builders threw their hats into the funny bike ring, including Pinarello, Cinelli, and... Huffy? That's right! The Ohio brand sponsored the legendary 7-Eleven cycling team and pushed bike innovation with its technical development center. One of its greatest creations was this TT bike, ridden by Mexico's top rider, Raúl Alcalá, in the Tour de France.
