Yeah, for me the journey is as fun as the destination, maybe even more so. I'm in no rush and I'm not going to settle. All Italian bikes are in my scope rights now, frames and complete bikes.

Right now, my one and only ride is an 89/90 Miayata 1400A. I just returned to riding this summer after way to many years away, and I started on a MTB, but I wanted to get back to road bikes. New road bikes were to expensive, so I went vintage, where you can get alot of bike for the money. So I found the Miyata and I really love this bike. It's well made, fast, agile and responsive. I know aluminum frames are not all that popular here, but I happen to like this one. The ride is smooth and I havn't noticed the flex that many complain about on some aluminum frames. It has a full 105 gruppo to. I wasn't sure I would like or be able to get used to DT shifters, but I have come to love it all over again. Heres some pics -
