A dream bike for many of us and thanks for sharing this review
I tried one equipped with DA 7700 back in 1998 but it lacked the stiffness of my Peugeot with 708 classic tubing, but still it was a very fast and very responsive bike. The price tag of the frame alone is enough of a stopper for me ,plus I don't have any more room for other bikes.
