If you want a beer run bike, get a rigid MTB for $100. As I recall, your main bike is a Motobecane or a PX-10? I would personally much rather have the Miyata and with Superbe Pro, the Miyata is probably worth more.
Admittedly, my "main" bikes are not C&V. That doesn't mean I don't ride C&V, though. I sold the PX-10 and the Le Champion is still sitting in the garage waiting for a full restore.
The paint on the Miyata is pretty lousy and the photo doesn't show it. I felt that it had the least chance of getting stolen. I still adore the way it rides and I ride it all the time, but it's not a bike I'm afraid to take outside.
Superbe Pro is selling for more than Campy SR? I'll gladly trade anyone the groupset in order to put Record back onto the Lejeune! Hell, I'd probably keep it at that point
Didn't mean to underestimate the Superbe Pro or Superbe for that matter. I really love the groupset and that's why I went out of my way to build it. Maybe my Univega Super Strada with Dura Ace AX should be my beater bike instead?
