No kidding. I decided that now would be the best time to sell my personal collection, including some Miyata 1000s I've acquired over time. I figured I would never hit peak demand again after this second bike boom, so I sold what I had.
To get a better picture, for the Miyata 1000s, I sold them at well beyond the premium asking price, especially the later models (89+). I'll miss my '82, but truth is that it just sat in my room for a while as I rode my '91 more.
Wouldn't hestitate to do it again!
