I just did 40 on my team Miyata this afternoon with the thought that nothing with a ride like this bike has, has been made in the last 20 years. Steel bikes with such strong rear triangles haven't been made for a long while. Rides more plush than an aluminum bike, but not detached from the road like the latest CF offerings
Production steel has been dead for a while, but custom has never passed away, and looks to have a bright future.
