1983 Miyata 90

Vintage 1983 Miyata - 90 Series Sports Bike | other | Ottawa | Kijiji

Seller is asking quite a bit. He is willing to let it go for $230, but no lower. Is it worth it? Cheers.

No, that is the base entry level model.

Ah, okay. I was also looking at this
Miyata 914 - Vintage | road | Ottawa | Kijiji

for $200.

Anything you'd recommend? Looking for a decent commute bike.

If it is $200 like you posted the price is very good. If it is $500 like the ad says, well that's just crazy talk. The first bike you posted is about a hundred dollars over priced.

Plus those bikes are two different sizes. Are you sure you know what size of bike to buy? Get the sized zeroed in before you think about which bike to purchase.

The Miyata 914 is a road bike for sport riding, not commuting. Narrow tires only, No fender clearance and probably no eyelets for fenders or a rack.

56cm for a 5'8-5'11" rider.

Is the $200 price what you want to pay or from the seller?

Probably $150 over priced...and the 914 at $500 is probably $200 over priced (if in really good shape). At $200, the 914 is a good deal...
