DVC45, Ive been debating that kodiak for a couple days! It looks in really good condition and a good size! The real problem for me is having to save up cash for going back to school next year and climbing some big mountains before that, so most of my cash is tied up in those endeavors.

My lady does have an early miyata gran touring (pre 1000), but it is missing some of the braze-ons of a full touring model (only one water bottle, no rear rack mounts, single eyelets in the back, no mid-fork). In the big scheme of things, I could just get some P-clamps and have a hay-day, but that would steal the fun of hunting for a new bike, haha!
