Though I do admit my old Cilo is a fun ride. Something magical about something older like that when your low gear was 42 in the front and you shifted off the bars.
You don't have to take your eyes off the road once you get used to it.
I used to have an 88 400 Triple. Kinda whippy frame in the BB area for me back then. I'd probably like it now that I've developed a taste for squishy frames.
My favorite part was that it fit CX tires no problem
