Yep, I like it too. Miyata made their own tubing and their quality control would have been very high. And I would guess that the same guys who made the tubes made the bikes, so it really isn't in the same league as the reguler Hi-ten stuff we are all familiar with, perhaps that lack of knowledge is why it didn't go past $515. I would say it is a good buy at $515 but the seller's reserve is obviously much higher.
