goodwill auction miyata
 
Picked this up today after winning it on the goodwill auction site. Really nice condition, and I've been wanting a triple for awhile. Did a quick cleanup, new cables and wrap. Now I need to get a rack and a brooks saddle.

Nice grannie on that Miyata.
I didn't see the pre-photos but it looks great.

WOW! That's a rare bike. Aluminum tubes, cromoly lugs and fork. Beautiful lugs and seat cluster. Love it.

That's a sweet bike! Lots of cool little details including rear rack mounts. Really good condition too!

That bike is in great shape; nice score. That's a pretty decent saddle. I'd ride it for a while before swapping it out.

Mountain LX? That is a quirky cool model, perfect for fast commuting. I like it a lot.

This bike has a tone of hidden character. The flex seat cluster and full lx componets are kinda cool.

Thanks all, it really is a clean bike. I haven't had a chance to ride it yet though.

Never seen one of those before - great looking bike!

Also it has the infamous Egg Biopiece granny gear. Which proves that the drivetrain is all original

Very nice! Picked up a Seven 21 for my son last year, it is fast, fast, fast! Hope you enjoy it.

Really cool cable routing, that may be a keeper...

Biopace. I had a double & triple crank set with them. I felt they gave me less knee pain. My triple was a 28-38-48 teeth. I remember some more chain "bounce" over a round chain ring crank set. I'd slow down more, when shifting the front derailler.

I took it out this morning for a quick ride before the storms blew in. So far I like it, has a very nice ride, comfortable and pretty quick and nimble for a heavier bike.
