Beautiful bike @franswa! I want one just like it. I used to ride this:
but sold it because I didn't like the way the frame rode. I'm considering purchasing a steel frame for it, maybe a Wabi or a Rush, big decision being the 1" threaded v 1.125" threadless HT ofc.

My recently built 2000 Koga Miyata Full Pro Oval race bike. I built it from a bare frame a generous fellow rider on CL in Seattle practically gave me ($5). It's not finished yet as I'm still searching out some parts, but is currently running 90's era 105 components with 7 speed DT shifters set to friction with a 9 speed SRAM cassette. Ti saddle with DT Swiss Ti skewers on Mavic CXP wheels.
I love the way this bike rides, the frame is a combo of eras - uses Miyata's very light FM1 oval steel tubing, along with lugs, a threaded stem and aluminum fork. The bike is very quick, I climb a lot of steep hills in my rides and it's a pleasure to ride. It's also very solid on fast descents, no squirrely-ness at all. I'm a chicken sh*t on descents so that's a really nice feature.
It's getting a change to dark blue bar tape today. And have you noticed? Apparently Red Bull stole the bike's colors for it's cans, lol.

Nope! I'd like to, however.
