Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Rudi, I'd love it if we can make that picture happen.

This is a strictly sunny-day bike...i don't even really ride it on dry sunny days in the winter because of the gravel on the roads Sounds like a little extra lovin with a file and some rustoleum is in order. Honestly I just wish the decals looked a little less ragged. According to my seat tube I'm riding a "Team Miya", and if you can spot the headtube in some of those photos you'll see its just two "Team Miyata" stickers that don't appear to belong there running vertically on the headtube. Whatever, it rides great and I cant imagine it would look as cool in any other color.
Well...white whale might be extreme...my real white whale is an 87' De Rosa signature with panto Delta brakes that a friend of mine rode when we were teens. Everytime I bring the bike up he changes the subject.

That said, this is one of the bikes I most wanted.
