I overhauled the hubs already and they're in good shape. I'll post rim damage in the next couple of days, once I have time to work on the bike. I think it is a semi-single wall, like you say. Thanks for the recommendations.
Wow, that's a beautiful bike, and for 215.00! I wouldn't sell my Trek 400 for 215.00
I have a 1981 Miyata One Thousand and I love the bike. With that being said, the newer models such as yours are much more in demand versus the early 80's models.
I'd hate to imagine what my 1981 model would sell for. I'll hang it on the wall forever before I'd sell it for anything less than 500.00
