This is a large 24" Miyata frame and fork. made in japan of triple butted steel tubing. it comes with frame, fork, bottom bracket, headset and stem. This could be a cool build for a really tall fixie or singlespeed. Bottom bracket feels ok, but I'm not too sure about the headset and stem.

EDIT: it's really cheap, almost free, but it is about a 40 minute drive to get to it

FYI: Miyatas are the best bikes ever.

Okay okay, I'm a bit biased.

For the record, that frame is a 710 model, from the 1986 model year. Here's the catalog page for that bike: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_whtVpXkKwlQ/R1okzOqjNdI/AAAAAAAAARM/kOfuMc-001U/s1600-h/img103.jpg

If you're interested in passing this along, I'll pay you whatever you paid, plus a few bucks for your time, plus shipping. It's my size, and I'm a Miyata fanboy. Pleeeease? :P
