As to quality, triple butted and spleened. A rider's bike. This is the stiffest steel bike I've ever experienced. Frankly, better than any Italian frame I've ever ridden. Some call the Team the best C&V production bike ever built. I tend to agree.
This made me think.I am going to Belgium to do the Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix this spring. Why not put Dugast Paris Roubaix tires on some DA-hubbed CD4 rimmed wheels I have and use my 87 Team Miyta with barends and an Ultegra 6603 crankset I bought some time ago. My other option is my Focus Mares CX; it would be more stylish with the Miyata and it is a very nice riding frame.
