For reference purposes, here's my '87 with 7400 DA:

Very nice, still not convinced the frames high end enough for DA though.

There's actually a fair bit of information on these to be found on this forum.

Interesting, but I personally don't think it's any better quality/built than this

And this didn't deserve DA, I think I'll box it up put it in the garage for a whike then see if I can do anything with it, or just sell the frame.

Just out of curiosity, as I'm having trouble understanding the concept: what does a bike have to do or be to deserve DA?

BTW, is that an SBDU frame?

Quality,

As DA was/is top end kit then it has to be a top end frame, otherwise for me the frame doesn't deserve it.

And No it's not an SBDU frame.
