this is super hard.... 84 Team Miyata or 85 Team Miyata (had a de rosa and it was gorgeous, but it is middle of a build by another forum member so he has bragging rights....and I expect it to be pretty, very pretty)
ok picked the 85, the paint is in way better condition, the blue seems a little more saturated and the black accents got better with components.

Uhhhhh, no! Not feeling it, or the camo that came on it either. Not feeling the blue tires or housing as well.

It’s looking like my frame geometry & setup is just a tad bit different from the rest of those gorgeous road bikes but...you asked🤣

Just finished this build, and it's definitely the prettiest in the stable. Not fully CV, but I think it'll pass. Modern Neuvation wheelset posing as vintage campy Zonda/Shamal.

My Davidson Signature isn't the flashiest bike I have in my stable by a long shot, but its classy, understated beauty and superb frame craftsmanship is what makes me consider it as actually the prettiest bike I have.
