The word is out on Miyata 1000s, even the most novice internet user can figure out their value with one google search. And if they don't search for a value and list it improperly, someone will offer them a lot of money just to secure the sale. They are basically De Rosas nowadays.
Look for any of these bikes, they will be a lot cheaper than a Miyata 1000. I personally think the Fuji and Lotus touring bikes are beautiful, the paint is really nicely done.
