This may be the first Miyata addition to my collection.

Hi,

I would ask him why the original bolt that connects the monostay is gone and replaced by the one pictured.

Overall they used to be sturdy frames with not much issues.

You only see the pure materials, but the frame is entirely clearcoated. This should make polishing a bit of a problem, but that at the same time should be needed just because of the coat.

Oh ..and here a pic of mine:

Yes, I noticed that the bolt had been replaced. I imagine it ought to be easy enough to find a replacement closer to original. Hopefully it will be one reason for the frame to sell a little cheaper.

 

[Elev12k]

Yes, it is easy. It is wide example of a regular seat binder bolt.

 

[Mr. Zero]

Hopefully the bidding doesn't get silly on this one, as I'd really like to have it.

 

[Mr. Zero]

Do you have any idea of the frame weight?

No worries. Nobody on Retrobike will bid on it. Everybody wants you to have it Or?
