  1. Did Miguel Indurain ever ride an Orbea? I am told his team was sponsored
    by Orbea at some time. If so, does anybody know where I can find a
    picture of him on an Orbea? I can only find Pinarellos.
    Thanks.

    No. Pinarello sponsored Banesto for the Indurain years.

    It could be that during his early amateur career he was. He got hooked up
    with the Reynolds team fairly young. I know I saw something about his first
    years and I just can't remember. He was on a Pinarello or TVT for his entire
    pro career.

  4. This is what the Orbea Pro Shop says about one of their T-shirts:

    "Orange Stripe T
    $21.00
    This classic Orbea logo adorned the jersey of "Big Mig" back when he was
    riding Orbeas. Now we've put it on this retro striped T for your apres
    ride pleasure. Slim fitting."

    That's why I am asking.

    Yes he did. Maybe only one year as a neo-pro, circa 1985. Try searching
    for photos of Delgado or even Robert Millar during the 85 Vuelta. You
    might find one of then unknown Indurain....

    Wrong Reynolds.

    I just reviewed the '89 Tour and Indurain was a flunky on Delgado's team and
    was plainly riding a Pinarello in what I think was his first Tour.

    1989 was the first Tour he finished. He DNF'ed in 1987 and 1988.
