Hi all. The last new thread I posted regarding a Fuji bike ended being a no go in getting it. A friend offered me a fugly POS that upon closer exam looks to be a 1989-1992 Miyata alumitech Trailrunner. The bike seems cobbled together, but lsome of the original stuff is still there. Most importantly the LX hubs/Araya rims the crankset/chainrings, bottom bracket, headset, etc. Biggest "missing" parts are the shifters/ brake levers, the correct stem/handlebars, and the rear derailleur. The paint is in rough shape and the decalling is shot. BUT it all functions or so it seems.

I know that it will be basically valueless once done, but it is a nice enough bike that it should get some sort of restoration.

Just looking for any that have direct experience with the Miyata alumitech [/bold]mountain [/bold*] bike.
