Hm... please pardon my obliviousness, but what is special about the Miyata and its frame? Is it the cantilever brakes or the brand or what? It's a bit late at night to call now, but I could email now and then call in the morning.
The reasons I didn't call before were that it's a single speed (hilly area) and it says anyone
taller than 5'9" would fit it (I'm 5'9"). I was also kinda afraid it might not have eyelets for a rack and fenders, but I suppose that's something I could have just asked the seller about.
I do somewhat fancy the road bike speed-advantage-thing, so if it's a good deal and it's still available (probably not on the latter part), I could go try the fit. Also, would it be worth it to put multiple gears on it afterwards?
Thanks.
Edit:
Blast, the Bianchi was sold.
