Miyata One Ten Singlespeed $175

Seems a little high for a single speed, I'd probably ride it as is unti I could get a 2 or 3 speed crank. Unless I get addicted to single speeding about...

<'((((>< ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <"((((>< doesnt that mean here fishy fishy?
counter offer... umm i dunno 1/3 of the price? no really... 125$ tops.
If those are new tires then what the f*ck do you call vintage?
new tires + chain + cables will cost you what 40$ ? and the guy gives you a choice of cogs 16, 17 or 22...
single speed road bike with spacers on it... ummm i dunno sounds like he/she is reselling the bike for the price of the parts + cost they paid for the bike second hand...

better bike in your area with better components and looks like it comes from a semi-serious rider.
Plus its a 58cm Offer this guy the same price as the miyata and then buy a conversion kit + spacers and voila. Better singlespeed for the money.

both are nice, I like the univega more because it seems to be better kept. mind you the khs looks just as good with nice bells and whistles on it... only thing that worries me on the khs iare the tires and rims. everything else seems to be very clean. I don't like this though "it has the cut road bike bars and the long dropouts that would make a great single speed conversion." The person is fishing for you because they know you want a fixed gear / SS bike... Again... price on both is great, if you can afford both get both.
Make one a project bike to restore into a vintage road bike and the other into your conversion bike.

Make sure to use 700x20 tires and raise that seat up, up, up!
