I sold my Miyata 1000 touring bike on ebay recently. It was kind-of a frankenbike built up with good stuff of all brands and eras. So I didn't keep the Campy 50th anniversary front hub, or the Nuovo Record rear derailleur, or the Super Record seat post in mint condition... one can find those all the time on ebay. But I did keep the flickstand, one of two that I own. My other bikes, vintage or not, use a heavy-duty rubber band or an old toe-strap at the downtube to the front wheel, but they're just not as efficient. I'm working on an improvement to the flickstand though. Patent pending...
