Long time lurker. Thought I'd revive this and share my 3rd Team USA bike. I had a pair years and years ago that were pretty much mint and like fool I passed them on. Been lusting after another one every since because I dig patriotic bikes. Finally just paid to much for frameset that wasn't as nice as the ones I had. Built it up using mostly Suntour Superbe parts I was given for free by a member over on Paceline. I looked awhile for the stock crank as I think it looks so cool but finally settled on a NOS Sugino Aero Mighty one. I originally built it up in a road configuration, friction shifting over an 8 speed cassette. Wheelset are some tubular rims sporting cushy Veloflex 700 x 27 tubulars. Realized how much tire clearance I had and that the Superbe brakes were actually long reach ones. So then I stuffed a set of 700 x 36 CX tires on an old set of Fulcrum Racing One rims and swapped in a cassette with a 30T large cog. Now it's my light duty gravel bike and I'm loving it.

Added this suspension saddle for a tad more off road comfort:

I've also got a small gallery of detailed pics from one of my first ones. May help someone looking to restore one of these.

I’m a newbie here. Saw this thread for Team USA and had to share mine. I bought it a few weeks ago and just finished a full refresh. It was in fantastic shape to start. Just needed a good clean and buff. I disassembled it, repacked the the crank and head bearings. New cables and bar wrap. Great looking classic bike! Can’t wait to go for a ride this weekend.
