I am going to let this bike go in favor of the Pro Miyata I just bought. But it's a puzzle how to price or market it. There were other buyers clamoring to buy it from the guy I bought it from so there is clearly interest in this kind of setup.
It's a 1988 Miyata 1200, STB tubing, frame and fork in excellent condition, just a few nicks and scratches to the paint on the stays. Not a speck of rust. 50cm frame.
For better or worse the original Sante group was replaced with all modern stuff:
Sora 3x9 brifters
Sora FD
Tiagra RD
Vero Triple crankset
Ritchey stem, ergo bars of some kind
American classic hubs, 9 sp freehub, deep V type rims, cheap Czar tires
Tektro calipers
Seatpost might be original.
Felt saddle in the pic was sold; I'll put something generic on to sell it.
Cheap Wellgo pedals.
This is the wrong time of year to sell a bike but I really need to clear some space. It's possible I'd want to do a modern build some day but as a recreational rider, in flat Chicago, I don't think I need more than DT shifters and 6 speeds in the rear.
Sell it as is? For how much, realistically? Part it out? Strip it down, sell the frame and hoard, I mean save, the drivetrain?
Thanks for your advice!
