My first was an '83 Miyata 912 that I no longer have any pictures of. I rode it around Davis before dropping out. I brought it home with me and eventually donated it to the local co-op. It didn't have the original fork or head badge so selling it wasn't the greatest option.
I replaced it with an '83 1200 that lacked all original parts, not even the fork. I will forever regret not buying the subsequent 1200 that appeared on Craigslist a couple years later with its complete kit (and fork) still attached for only $325... ah well, my mutt of a 1200 rides very well regardless and I would have never recouped the money put into it if I were to try and sell it.
