Hello everyone. I am just getting into road biking. I did a bit of research online and searched through Craigslist for a good buy and came across this guy.

From what I can tell, it is an 81 Miyata 610. Obviously some parts have been upgraded as it is no longer 10 speeds. I am a casual rider looking to ride to run a few errands and helping keep my cardio fit.
What do you guys think, a good looking bike? Would it be worthwhile keeping it around and upgrading a few parts here and there to make it last for a while?
