From: Back in Lincoln Sq, Chicago...🙄

Bikes: '84 Miyata 610 ‘91 Cannondale ST600,'83 Trek 720 ‘84 Trek 520, 620, ‘91 Miyata 1000LT, '79 Trek 514, '78 Trek 706, '73 Raleigh Int. frame.

Correct! An '86 912!
So for those keeping track at home my... Geeze, it's now a collection... Contains an '84 310, an '85 710, and an '86 912. ��

I dropped 2 bills on this barn fresh example needing tubes, tires, seat, AND while being stored in the basement of the PO house someone liberated the toe clips (but left the straps?) and the brake pads.

So the 310 was a free shed bike from a friend, and needed 140.00 in stuff to get it where I wanted it.
The 710 was 180.00 and "needs" nothing but could use tape, pads, and a seat.
and this was just purchased by me today in Chicago (I'm visiting here from Boston) asking 250.00 and we agreed at 200.00.

I'm a trained motorcycle tech, so I've re-packed bearings etc, so I'm not paying for anything but parts.

I think I'm doing pretty well, I may have overpaid a tiny bit for the 912 considering condition but I think it's fair. Especially in Chicago.
