Really good vintage road bicycles are a product of frame quality material choice, assembled with care by someone who knows what they are doing and then fitted with quality components. Moreoften than not, these three elements will produce a quality bicycle that will be a treat to ride.
The Miyata you are considering is one of these bikes, in my opinion. $200.00 is a price I would pay in a heartbeat.
