Listers and Listees,

The bike that rides the best in my collection is a 1982 Pro Miyata. It's a "Franken-bike" with a mix of various Shimano 600 components, a gold OMAS headset, Avocet seatpost, KKT Pro Ace pedals, SR Campy copy crank and a Buffalo Rolls saddle. Obviously purchased as a frame and built up. It fits me and it's well balanced. Rode it recently on the Silver Comet Trail here for about a quarter mile with no hands with ease. Some of my other "very collectible" bikes don't ride as nice. Gotta wonder......
