Vintage 80's Miyata or Cannondale Black Lightning
What would you rather have given similar overall condition:
1980's vintage Miyata 710 with Suntour Cyclone dr, Sugino GLP crank, Look pedals, Uakai 700cc rims, Dia-comp brakes. 6 speed cog. This bike is triple butted cro moly.
or
1986 basically stock Cannondale Black Lightning; al frame with cro moly fork, suntour edge crank, suntour derailluer, dia-comp edge brakes, 7 speed suntour cog.
both bikes are about $150.
From my limited research the Cannondale was a entry level bike while the Miayta is a mid level bike off the day. The Miayta is steel and heavier but well made and the Cannodale aluminum and stiff.
Let me know your thoughts and thanks for having me on your forum.
