I have seen several Vista Silver Shadow bikes from the 80's and consider their frame quality not far from Miyatas. Both of these bikes were almost flawless due to almost no use whatsoever. Their components were as good as any other Japanese bikes of the day. Dia Compe brakes, Suntour components, Shimano also. I plan on buying the next one I see for sale for an everyday rider. I missed the others from CL because I was out of town. Nice bikes especially for the money they were asking. $75.00 and $100. You just can't lose on a deal like that.
