my replacement for the de rosa (your build of its is killer by the by) was an 85 team miyata in addtion to the 84 team miyata. When asked the difference, I started in on durace friction shifting for eroica/heroica rides vs modern 105 5800 brifter groups, here eyes glazed over and she dropped the conversation. She did notice the 14.5 foot kayak in lime green....but we had discussion about that ahead of time.....
