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.

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.

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.

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.
