Miyata 910 is a nice bike, but I don't think it was ever a $5000 bike and $500 seems a bit wishful.

We never said it wasn't a good deal? Just that guy thought the bike was carbon fiber. You could
lightly strike anywhere on the frame, and the "ding" would tell any fool it's full on steel.,,,,BD

Reminds me of one of those joke canes with rearview mirrors you see at party stores. I have never seen so much junk on the handlebars of a bicycle this side of a lowrider show.,,,,BD

Don't worry Bd,
I think that even without the ape hangers this bike will still "make all the other bikers way jealous.."

Did you call Jim to ask him what the bike was? Hopefully you'll get a better response, then when I emailed this one person about their ad last year. Old Schwinn bike $50. They couldn't even tell me what kind of bike it was. The tires are nice and squishy like a beach cruiser, was the only thing I could drag out of them over the course of a week. My question was..."Is it a mountain bike, road bike, beach cruiser, or what?" I think they picked a word out of my question, somehow got it right about the tires being soft for that model, and then stood there staring, unable to gather anything else that might help their cause.,,,,BD

Lesse... Aluminum frame + dent = 100$ ? How much does the recycling center pay per pound, anyhoo-- that's likely what it is worth...

That's what I love about Craigslist . . . . . . in a pessimistic world, it's a home for absolute optimists. Well, isn't that a positive way of saying numbskull?
