Yesterday I took a late 80's 55.5cm Team Miyata F/F to the swap meet. I probably could have made it work for myself but I have too many projects as it is. It has been hanging in a pole barn for the last 20 some years, it was very grimy and crusty. I had a hell of a time removing the stem from the fork and in fact the Cinelli stem and Modolo bars are still quite attached to one another. The frame and fork received a lot of attention at the swap and at least a dozen people picked it up and told me the stories of the old Miyata that they once had. Some had the same exact model, others something similar. I really enjoyed listening to all the reminiscent stories of old and the love they had for their Miyata's. In the end I didn't get quite as much as I had anticipated, but I sold it to a young lady that really, really wanted it and I'm sure it's going to get many more years of use. For me, that makes it much easier to let go.
