I'm refurbishing a bike I can't even ride, too tall. I just find it satisfying to repack wheel bearings, bottom brackets, pedals, steering, and pretty much overhauling what needs overhauling. Rear axle has the slightest of wobbles, hard to notice.

As stated this is a Miyata 1000 in univega's livery, same geometry, materials, built by the same Miyata factory people. My hopes is to find somebody to trade frames with but if push comes to shove I may eventually sell it. I'm hoping that it won't need to be parted in order to realize the best return, it would be a shame.

The bike looks good, and completely original (except maybe saddle). The parts look like very low mileage, sugino AT crank lettering intact, etc. Univegas are generally under-appreciated, due to their relatively less-known status.

Whoever gets this would be extremely happy— Sugino AT crankset, suntour sealed cartridge bb, suntour cyclone drivetrain with barcons, sprint hubs, gran compe brakes with the roller hangers— just terrific stuff.

Sadly, I think the parted out yield will be much higher than the whole bike. I would suggest getting a baseline from current going rates for the parts.

Right now in central Texas, you’d be really lucky to get 400 for it, probably closer to 250.

I hate parting nice bikes and as I said I would prefer a frame transplant but yes, I can put just about every component on that bike to a good use. I may sell the frame, keep the rest.

I’m right there with panzerwagon Want it to be worth $400 but lucky if it brings $250 in this market. Picked up a Panasonic Pro Touring in the spring for $200 in VGC. Months later there was a Fuji Touring IV listed locally for $100 that made me second guess picking up the Panasonic. Even watched a classic Specialized Expedition drop below $400. Tough market for selling.

Location is everything, but this Miyata 1000 recently brought $400 despite the goofy stem -- admittedly sold from Sepp Kuss' cycling-mad hometown of Durango, which could be a factor if it wasn't shipped.

Higher end touring bikes are one of the few vintage types still holding vale reasonably well. There's at least a couple reasons for that. They're still viable as long distance tourers and they're pretty easily converted into something like a gravel bike. As others have mentioned, the value depends a lot on the market you're in, but I wouldn't let that go for less than $350. It's a nice one.

I was surprised to see that by modern standards they don't have a whole lot of tire plus fender clearance. Moving to 700c would gain a few precious mm but it is not a bike you can put much of a fat tire on.
