Maybe it's just the extra details??
The decals, the extra text cast into it??
It's not as simple as a clean Cinelli or Nitto Pearl, but I can't help it. ... Plus.. I have a nice example stashed away too.

Yep, beautiful and cool as ef.

First top level part I ever bought was a 135mm? one of these that was deeply discounted for my first too small high end bike that I was out growing even more.

Next up was another deeply discounted part, narrow Campy 2 bolt that got me some more height.

Then a set of Mafac "2000" engraved brakes to replace the standard issue Dia-Compes, SunTour first gen Cyclones to go with the stock "Mighty" Sugino Mighty Competition crank and I was set.

Bike was a Mizutani Super Seraph bought from Mel Renfro when he had a bike shop here in PDX.

It was nice but heavy, I didn't really know any better and didn't care, especially after I got the better parts on it.

Until it parted ways with bottom half of the DS RDO and became a parts donor.
