This weird, because I just got a 512 yesterday at a pawn shop...yes, a pawn shop for $45 (I have bike and car radar eyes, I saw the bike speeding by at 45mph hanging on a bike rack with others! wasn't sure what it was but it looked sort of vintage when I passed by) And the bike I got is exactly the same color as the one GlenFord got. According to the Miyata catalogue the bike is unmolested too, there is several scratches on the paint but after buffing and waxing it the scratches don't look so bad. It's a tad small for me but I can ride it, however I'm going to clean it up, tune it up, and replace a few items and give it to a friend who's looking for a bike to ride.
