Too many bikes to move out, and perhaps more honestly, as a complete bike, I really look for framesets to put my preferred set of components on. If everything looks pretty decent, then I don't want to cannibalize a perfectly rideable bike just for a frameset...unless I really want it. So I said no to that and then over time bought a few framesets for good deals. I think my preferred IM look is the early '85-86. The yellow and pink half-committed paint schemes aren't my jam, though the smoked/marbled look is great. Unicrown fork is not attractive to me, however, so it looks like the early ones are the ones for me.
