Mid 80's I got into biking heavy duty. I had a local bike shop build me a Ciocc world 77 frame w/ Campy Super Record components. I did some racing, time trials, centuries. I put 20,000 + miles on that bike. Went through 3-4 sets of rims. I still have it but hardly ride it anymore. It is just like the 986, the control, feeling every little thing, the extension through it.
When I do ride it (It is still in great condition) I am immediately reminded of it's minimalist attitude, like the 986. 90 psi on 1 inch wide tires and a seat that is a plastic shell with leather cover + 50 more pounds on me = Ouch on every bump.
The Mountain bike is a much easier ride, like an SUV
