A 1983 Miyata 310 I picked up on the side of the road for $5. Nothing fancy. My 'new' winter bike.

Suffice it to say, it was a typical dusty bike with 'rotted' tires, disgustingly melted brake hoods, rusty cables, no chain, etc. It smelled as bad as it looked. But all it needed was a chain, bartape, cables, elbow grease, and I had some old 27" whitewalls laying around. I just got it fixed up yesterday, still have to fine-tune, but after one test ride, I like the ride! Gearing's too high for me, but oh well. If I like her I might remedy that later.
