About 2-3 weeks ago I picked up a 91-93 (?) Miyata 914 in ready to go riding condition in a pearl white on ATLANTA CL. I also got an TREK 400 Elance that needed a lot of work for $140 (I had to talk the guy down from $200 pointing out all the dough I'd have to dump in to getting it "right")
I put a Shimano Ultegra crank, new yellow tires and cables (To match the yellow bottle cages), "leatherette" bar wrap and a Brooks seat to match (Picked up "new" from a friend on the cheap). Toughest thing was matching the paint with I "sort of did" with Testors Metallic
Blue and drops of Cobalt blue added in to deepen the hue to try to match the IMRON stuff. On the Miyata, it was ready to go but I have since put on a White San Marco saddle.
