I did, very seriously, consider selling my newly acquired Team Miyata. Why" Simply because someone had expressed interest in buying it and, frankly, I do NOT need another bike. That said, the potential buyer's interest waned, and I ordered bar tap and new Campy hoods, both black. I happen to have a shorter Cinelli steering stem, so good to go there and, in closing, one thought has been nagging at me...

Will I ever get a more appropriate bike, considering my interests. A made in Japan with full Campy Super Record and in great shape..? Probably not. Time to give up the hunt. Sadly, an old friend and BMX enthusiast, just offered to trade me an old Torpado for this BMX something or other...
