"did you steal my tyre swan?"

Same bike?

Either way the setup looks terrible. Has the look of being bought by someone that is to big for it.

No descent drive side shot. My photo skills are crap but those pictures look like they have been taken with a phone camera. I would be ditching that Vetta saddle ASAP if it was mine too and replace it with Super Corsa or a Turbo.

I wouldn't spend half that. I have seen mint in the box 50th ann. groupsets go for $2500.

Plus it's made for midgets.

Not retro, but you just have to laugh So the bike shop told you the value but didn't mention anything abbbooouuuttt....?
'Looks tough'

Maybe that's what he meant by "many people pass compliments". Apparently he has a cannondale righty as well

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.

Did you check out his other Miyata?

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.

[Rob74]

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
