My goal was riding this pretty project on Christmas...and I made it (barely). We're having rain here, and I ducked out when the streets dried today - but after a few blocks the skys opened again. This bike has to be one of my nicest, and the parts and frame have that 'pristine' look - so I quickly sprinted back to the garage ! It rode great though !
I put the wrong DuraAce levers on it - I've got the non'aero versions to switch out later after a few miles to check the stem length.
Thanks to everyone who helped. Still keepin eyes peeled for those cool Miyata bottles pictured in the catalog shot
