I'd also consider something more current, but I'm leaning toward the '80s tourer as my model.
Complete bikes are also more than welcome.
Preferred dimensions are: 60-61cm seat tube c-t (~58-59cm c-c); 58cm top tube c-c.
Please post or pm with price and pictures if possible.
Still on the lookout for the above. In fact, after having to say no to a bit-too-small Miyata (beautiful, thanks again, Neal), I've definitely got the bug...again.
