50cm Miyata Pro
My gf is looking to buy a nice bike, and so I'm helping her find something. She's about 5'2". It's hard finding something in her size, and I'm a little worried this might be slightly too big for her. The bike seems to be in great shape, and all the components look like they are Suntour Superbe. I offered $450 for it, and hopefully I can go check it out with her to check the fit. What do you guys think?

Some odd things about it.
- Brake calipers aren't original
- The stem wasn't inserted properly for those photos
- That seat post isn't the original 600AX aero post.
It looks a bit dirty, and I can't speak to the mechanical elements, but for the price you offered it would be a pretty good deal.

Yeah, I noticed those issues as well. I think the brakes are Modolo Speedy's, which are fairly nice brakes. And the stem would be an easy fix.
