In keeping with the current Phil Anderson Team Motorola theme, today's post is a couple pages of the 1991 Motorola Cycling Team Press Guide. I acquired this while researching the buildup of the Phil Anderson Merckx. Although the pics of the bikes are really small, there is some information to be gleaned here (mainly from the bikes in the team picture).

- The bikes shown here do indeed have exterior top tube rear brake cable routing

- It does appear that Wolber aero-profile rims were spec'ed front and rear.

- The fluted version of the Dura Ace seatpost was spec'ed instead of the aero version.

- One big question that's still unanswered for me and is difficult to tell from the pics: Are those 7402 or 7410 cranks??


Here's the 1991 team roster according to the guide:

Norm Alvis

Phil Anderson

Frankie Andreu

Steve Bauer

Andy Bishop

Mike Carter

Nathan Dahlberg

Andy Hampsten

Ron Kiefel,

Dag Otto Lauritzen

Scott McKinley

Bob Roll

John Tomac

Brian Walton

Sean Yates

Urs Zimmerman


Let me know if you see a favorite rider in that list and I'd be happy to scan a page from the guide and send it to ya. I could probably do the entire guide too, but that would take a while longer. :-)


Stay tuned, as I have one more Motorola Cycling Team-related article to post before I round out the Motorola theme and move on to something else. Could be more Merckx, could be more 80's Japanese goodness, could be Campy, maybe time for another poll?
