Hi all -
Time has come to sell my 1985 Miyata Pista. I'm at the point of giving up on ever getting it on the track, and there are other pressing priorities that must be met. It's unfortunately time.
I have no idea what this thing is worth these days, so I'm soliciting opinions from you good folk. The bike is as close to mint as anyone is ever going to come. I bought it from a shop I worked at in 1985 (Alfred E. Bike when they had a St. Joseph location). All told, it has
maybe 5-6 roller miles on it. Has never seen a track. Like ever. Bike is completely stock, as I bought it, except for tires and tape. Missing clips, though original MKS Sylvans. I think it's around 57 cm - they were sized strangely IIRC. Drilled to accept brakes, came stock that way, has a flip flop hub.
I'm about an hour from Trexlertown, so I'm hoping there's a more attentive audience locally. I'm just not sure what the market will bear with vintage steel frames.
Thoughts?
I appreciate your input.
Scott
