I have the opportunity to pick up this Team Miyata for $250. Looks to be an 89. The stem/bars do not appear to be original but everything else looks correct. There is a large scrape on the bottom of the downtube, but I don't see any major damage or other corrosion. Let me know what you think. Thanks
Looks like a large frame. Does it fit you? If yes then buy it.
No_are you good at flipping?
Assuming all components are Dura Ace, this is a great deal!

This would be a keeper. I am 6'1" and prefer a bike around 60cm. Looks to be a good fit.
That's a hell of a deal! Buy it!

Whatever you with it , it's worth it. On the two team Miyata I have had the craftmanship was almost on par with my 3rensho.

+1. Definitly worth $250 assuming its the correct size.
It appears to be relatively stock with the exception on the brake levers, seat and possibly the rims.
If you do pick it up it would be nice to see some Dura Ace levers (aero or non) put back on it.
