Sadly I need to thin the herd, a few were easy choices, but the hard decision came down to this one here, and I still haven't made a final decision yet. I'm trying get an approximate valuation from you knowledgeable folks. I did a little research on ebay and such and I know markets will vary. If you could maybe add a little insight as to your valuation, your local market conditions, thoughts about +/- to changes I made, all would be much appreciated.


1982 Miyata 610 - 23" Frame - Original Paint and Decals -A few nicks but nothing major - Suntour Barcons



It's a little big for me, hence the seat post pretty much buried into the frame, and one of the factors as to why I am looking to this go.



Cane Creek SCR5 Levers, since this photo I came across some matching Cane Creek Dual Pivots that are essentially identical to the Tectro's that are shown in the picture.



Updated with a 7 speed 13-28.



Overall, it is in good condition, and it is a very nice ride, but alas, it needs to find a new home.

Thanks for any insight on price starting points.

******* Oops
Just read the forum guidelines - It was not my intention to subvert the guidelines - I am not intending to post this as a blatent attempt to sell this bike here, for one, I don't want to go through the whole packing and shipping so I will not entertain any offers in this thread -

So what is this old black bike worth?

You should be able to get at least $175 in the local CL.

I'm in a softer market then you, I could get $200 for it. I'd start at $250 and see what happens.

You live just south of me and I would list it at $275 but be prepared to accept less, IMHO. I would love to have that in my garage. Miyata+ touring model+ barcons= good stuff.

I would list for $275 and not take any less.

The dual pivots, aeros and Barcons are all plus's for most people. ( I don't know about the ergo bars though )

atmdad

you guys are killing me, I guess I will spare you the epicness of the schweeet varsity i'm gonna put on the block.

Auchen, yea the ergo bars are not my favorite, but I got a pretty good deal on them, hummmmm

i thought all 610s were touring models thus had canti brakes and triple chainsets?.......someone please confirm these thoughts as to correct or not.............gratsi

auchencrow

By '84 the 610 had canti's and shared geometry with the 1000. In '82, the 610 had a triple but still had side-pulls. It also had slightly slacker angles and a longer wheelbase. Which is the better touring bike is moot.

The bike seems exceptionaly well built up and in very good condition. It's a touring bike with barcons and nice components which add a lot to value. I'm not really sure about the aero bars and Tektro brakes while very nice they just don't seem to match go with the bike. I think you should be ably to get $275 for the bike in most markets. If it was mine I would seriously consider keeping it and maybe think about selling a different bike from your herd.
