Rofl!

HA!

I know there are some taller fellows up north who might be interested in this, I'd be all over it myself if I didn't already have a similar bike on the way.
A mid range model, but Miyata steel nonetheless - I *think* the GL212 is the Australian version of the 210 'sports tourer'. Get some centrepulls on it and you've got yourself a lovely randonneur.
Mmmmmmmm...yata

Gaspipe
I'm a Repco fan but $600 For a tarted up Traveller??
Still trying it on... the price of rust, and siezed components is holding firm
Seat + 7sp with 6Sp SIS DT Shifters, speedo cable adds to safety......he knows what he is doing.
Calling that Hipster Ricardo for tandem unit
Kinda like the simplicity if it were closer
Not Retro but..Hillbrick
They say 25" Black is Back..Unicrown ugly though.

Yes...1990 Al = Tick, tick tick non repairable hairline cracks are only a matter of kms away...suggest parts value only.....Steel is real and repairable

Sydney Vintage Bikes, there's been a fair few of their bikes on here. Always beautifully clean and well presented but ludicrously overpriced. If you were going to go to that much effort, why wouldn't you use something better than a Tourney RD?

EDIT: IMO, TBO, allegedly etc etc.

A muppet with reportedly "Frame is of very light weight butted steel " ...but your Honour....is that not a 1020 Steel sticker on the seat post?...Ahh sorry about that ....yes it is in reality GASPIPE!

Your advert then goes into further delicious detail...
...Bike is in an excellent original state. Always kept indoors.

Really then why do you reveal....
....Frame appears repainted in some areas but still retains all factory decals - looks excellent.

I'll take liberty IMHO etc
bike is fitted with the below low quality components

cheers! i like browsing op shops and used bookstores on my days off. some of the books i've picked up for 50c are just awesome.
it pays to know roughly what you want before you walk in tho, or you might walk out with a bagful (or two) of books ;p

I am a subscriber to his "Bicycle Quarterly" magazine. A great read.

Jan's recent book on Rene Herse is great too.

Was looking at that. A bit spendy for me. I'll hunt down a second hand one in a year or so.
