1986 Miyata Nine Twelve

I originally posted this in the Craigslist thread for someone else to grab. I live in Northern California and saw this was listed in the L.A. area for $200. This bike was one step below the Team and Pro Miyatas of that era. Shockingly, it lingered for weeks. I went to SoCal to visit my mom, and it was still there, so I reached out to the seller. After I explained that I would not part it out and that it would be restored, he insisted that I take it for $160. The hoods, toe straps, and tires are shot. The rest of the bike is impeccable and all original. It must have been ridden for a few years and then hung up for about 30 in a dry garage. A little, very light surface rust on a few of the components. The paint is impeccable. Very subtle rainbow metallic flakes in the black. A real looker. All Shimano 600 EX. First generation SIS shifters. Wheels spin smooth and rims are true. A thorough cleaning, repack all of the bearings, new cables, tires, toe straps, brake hoods, and bar tape and this bike will be close to mint. I have no interest in the flick stand or the old Cateye computer. DM me if you want them. I will ship for cost of postage.
