And you would think the Rock Racing guy of all people would be able to let Boyer be mentioned without addressing his past.

Idon't know what bikes he had at his disposal, but when he rode for 7-11, he was always riding a Vitus 979.....he seemed to love those things....

All these years later, Heiden's legs still amaze me.

Grant, are those stars painted on the headtube of Jock's bike? They almost look like stickers.

[Too Tall]

Dewd, his old RAAM bike is hanging in the rafters at a local bike store. Serious.

does he still have that diet ?

cheers

[witcombusa]

I had never noticed that "Cash Register" Phinney was the smallest guy on the team.

Talk about the who's who of American cycling in the 80's.....

[jimp1234]

I think he brought that bike to the end of season NorCal dinner (can't remember the year maybe 78,79) and he was selling it. I remember white stars painted on.

There's a great photo of Boyer eating a plate of spaghetti while riding no-handed during his first RAAM.

[jimp1234]

he'd pack a bunch of organic foods into suitcases so he would be able to eat what he liked organic foods

I don't remember how I came across this thread, probably a Confente search, but have some details about Boyer's bikes.

The pic with Jonathan riding was taken by Winston I think in early 1977 in the Monterey hills. The bike Jonathan is riding was build at the Lejune factory. There were probably a dozen of these - I bought one of them in 1978. The stars on these were hand painted silver on a blue background - I think the painter at Lejune put them on because Jonathan was from the US. A number of top Italian builders made frames for Boyer in 1978/79.
I think Jonathan started getting bikes from Confente in 1979. The frames shown in the thread aside from the one with Boyer riding, are Confente frames. I think the Confente frames were painted by Cycle Art. Adhesive backed stars were used as a mask for painting stars on the head tube on the Confente frames. I went to Jonathan's house in March of 79 to buy one of his Confente bikes. The most beautiful bike I have ever seen, with shifter cables routed through the inside of the frame. Boyer didn't sell it to me because Confente had passed away the day before. I still have a frame built by one of the Italian builders, with white stars on a metalflake blue background. These looked so crisp that military guys in the SF Presidio would salute me as I rode by.
