All I wanted…
…was these two things: The nozzle might want a new o-ring and the ACE SLIP & LOCK - NUT WRENCH will replace my Channel Locks for some of those BB cups too much for my 12 inch Crescent.

Included was a Miyata 912
…1983 I think and all three items totaled $20.
It’s small for me and despite the rust, deserved rescuing. Stronglight cranks and a Dura Ace? headset are a nice touch. Tires hold air. For years, I looked for a Miyata but they were always priced at what they are worth😆. Reviving a long neglected bike with the original bits and pieces is always a kick but the DS crank is cracked and there are the fungi-like oxide growths that attack Stronglight cranks here at the beach. So, it won’t go back together OG but it could replace my Le Champion city bike because no French stuff.
21 1/2” CTT with 55cm TT
Really?
Why is it not a 600? And the Brakes are DC.
Bummer.

Quite the deal! It's a shame about the Stronglight crankset.
