I just thought I would post this in an attempt to help a poor fellow in Alaska. He loaned his 1986 Miyata 1000 to a friend to tour down to Washington. The bike is now reported missing (lost, stolen, who knows) as the owner has recieved only "vague" information from his friend.
Anyway, if something resembling the Miyata in the CL link below shows up for sale on e-bay or a local CL, I'm sure this guy would be forever in debt for any information regarding the return of his Miyata.
