I bought an '84 Miyata 1000 in about the same condition as this one about a year ago for a just a little less than this one. Condition was about 95% perfect. Looked like it was ridden around the block a few times and parked - in a nice, cool, dry place - for 37 years. I don't regret it one bit. Paint and components in so close to new condition - and not something you find very often - a bargain to me. I couldn't pass it up. I'd take it over any new bike in the same price range any day.
