Retro road bike for short gals for sale...

[GLC1968]

1986 Miyata SevenTen. It was a mid range road bike at the time. Triple butted, CroMo steel bike. This bike has a 28" stand-over and about a 20" TT. My other road bike is a 19" Terry (48cm w/ short top tube) and this Miyata was about right if maybe a tiny bit small for me.

The stats:
The frame was made in Japan.
Suntour Cyclone components
12-speed (6 speed cassette, double chain ring)
Sugino cranks
Dia-Compe brakes
UKAI wheels - Continental Gator skin tires (brand new) - 700cc size
Terry Fly (for the cure) saddle
platform pedals

This bike is in excellent condition for a bike of this age. The gearing looks brand new. There are a few chips in the paint on the frame near the head tube and on the rear stay. The bottom bracket has been recently reconditioned and the bike rides beautifully. It also has horizontal drop-outs, so this would make a nice conversion to a fixie, if you are so inclined.

And the two areas with chips in the paint:




I'm asking $200 plus shipping. PM me if you are interested. If no one here wants it, I'm listing it on my local craigslist, so speak now or forever hold your peace!

I wish it weren't too small for me

Out of curiosity - why are you selling it? Wouldn't it work for your new commute??

It doesn't have rack or fender mounts. Plus, I have my Terry Classic for that, and it really fits me better.

This is a GREAT bike. I bought it as a 'project bike' from someone here on TE, but after fixing the BB, I haven't done a thing with it. The poor thing sits in my garage when it should be out riding! I think I've put maybe 10 miles on it since I bought it 2 years ago. It deserves better than that!
