Miyata 512 Value?
I found an older Miyata (1988?) and I was just wondering what would be a good price/ good deal/ fair offer on it. The bikes looks to be in decent shape and the fit will work but I haven't seen it in person yet. Pictures below.

Still learning
The asking price of $240 is FMV IMHO, given the clean condition of the bike.

If you go to look at this , check out the front fork. From the pic , it looks slightly bent . Could just be the angle of the photo, though .

Yes, fair market value.
if that is what its listed for, jump on it, assuming it works as nice as it looks.

If this is a rider for you, the price seems about right...seems to be a clean bike...and appears to be working...but...I would go see it, ride it...then make an offer...you can probably get it for a bit less...

My 1988 Miyata 312 was one of my favorite vintage bikes. Nice pick up on your 1988 512.
Here is a catalog link.

My '89 Miyata 312 is one of my favorite riders. It is a fixed gear, no flip/flop hub and was used by a road racer for training. It is super stable and comparatively light. You will enjoy that one!
