eBay / CraigsList finds - "Are you looking for one of these!?" Part II
11-27-14, 12:20 PM
Still learning
I own 2 Miyatas, and that bike is no where near worth $185, maybe $100 and no more than $125. I know the seller may have put a lot of time and effort into making it look good but he put too much time and effort into for what that bike is worth. Depending on the market though he may find a fool that will part their money for that...but I guess it's better that buying a Chinamart bike!

Here is the story I got from the seller. He said that team riders would have 6-7 frames built for the racing season. When Michel Zanoli punched Davis Phinney and got kicked off the team he still had this frame waiting in the wings. The seller said he owned a bike shop and knew the team mechanic. The frame had been in the mechanic's possession. The seller ended up buying the frameset from the mechanic.
Here is a picture of the little Merckx complete with goofy saddle and stem.

So interesting!
I would get a saddle and a stem on the little one pronto.
Then, off to ebay.

I plan on selling the Merckx Century. I know I can probably do the best on eBay but I have never sold anything there. From what I have read on this site it is kind of a pain for sellers without any or very few previous eBay sales. I am not sure where I will try to sell it.
