I agreed to help a friend with E-bay so that he can sell off his old stock in his sporting goods store. In return he gave me a New-Old-Stock Miyata 718a.

You didn't use any commas.

I'me, trying, to, be, better!

I'll be more helpful this time:

T-Mar is the resident authority on all things Miyata.

And, where, are, the, pics????

OK...he gave you a 718a. Your just telling us that or would you like knoW its a Meduim diameter aluminum mainframe with bonded lugs The rear triangle is chromoly bonded to the BB shell and pinned to the seat lug with seatpost binder bolt.

Everything else you need to know about it is already there. Components are all named etc....

I know all that. I am just bragging, I guess.

Where in central NY? Miyatas were never sold at 'sporting goods stores'. I only ask because I worked at Miyata dealer in upstate NY.

He didn't say the bike was from the store. Maybe it was, but he didn't say that.

I know, but he said, "new old stock". Just inquirin'.

The owner of the store sold Miyata, Cannondale, Peugot and others along with skis and clothing. He still has some NOS stuff that he want's to sell off on E-bay. He is slowly preparing for retirement.

Here it is;



It rides like a dream.

Does the store owner have any more nos miyatas, cannondales, or peugeots?

Miyatas and Peugots, yes. Cannondale no. We are going to put everything on E-bay. PM me with your frame size if you are really interested.

You're totally cross-chained in a triple.

That, poor, dérailleur. Sweet, bike, though.

Yup - just a parts bike now.

Oh, come on. I only did it for the picture.

Are those Biopace chairings?

Can't miss the biopace sticker!

Yup. Biopace 28/38/48

What a beauty! I like that paint scheme over the other from that year.

I think commas are important. In internet communications, they help clarify your thoughts.

OP hasn't posted anywhere in BF for almost 2 years you guys.
