So I now have a blue Miyata SixTen with a triple butted frame.
It's very light (aluminum) compared to, say, the dept store bikes (cheap steel). It has some scratches on it (and some weird stickers), but nothing major. Apparently the seller got it from a thrift store for a hundred bucks a while back or something (was in worse condition), and is trading up to a steel frame because apparently he was advised to not turn it into a fixie.

He gave them to a friend, who apparently can hook me up with them or something approximately equivalent.
It doesn't have a kickstand... is this normal?
I'll post more info later.
