I'm curious, which Univegas are equivalent to the Miyata Team and Pro? What year did Univega's best receive splined tubing?
Team Miyatas have a lot going for them. The stock bike is also the bike that the TDF team used. Miyata rolled their own steel tubing and it was very good quality. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miyata The Team Miyata used investment cast lugs, fork crown, and BB; this bike is rock solid. Dura Ace makes sense for this bike. And you actually have a reasonable chance of finding a frame in your size from 1987. Plus it is one of the best bikes I have ever ridden.
