The bicycle in question appears to be a 1987 Miyata 512, with aftermarket bar cons. To make you feel a little better, these bicycles did not come with chromed forks. This is obviously a replacement fork, which is usually indicative of a front end crash. While it is impossible to tell for sure from the picture, there is a good chance that the frame may be bent, just behind the head lugs.

The smokin hot deals around here really favor the old retired guys (me). Buyers available during the day for a quick pickup usually beat out the 9 to 5 crowd.

Death fork? Naaaah!!
Too bad. I really like mine. Even had it set up with barcons like that for a time.
