I love riding older DA equipped Merckx models, as well as my De Rosa SLX with DA 7400.
I've owned three EMs with DA or 600.
I remember teams locally switching over from SR to DA 7400 when it came out.
I raced with it as well on my Supers and grew a sweet tooth for DA.
Most of my bikes are Campagnolo equipped at this point, but a certain DA 7700 gruppo may sneak onto an upcoming gravel build for a friend.
