Miyata Nine-Twelve Commuter

4 Dec

For sale is a beautiful 56cm Miyata Nine Twelve from 1986, this is a great commuter with an almost complete Shimano 600 series gruppo, the only thing that is not are the break pulls which are Shimano 105. Just gave her an overhaul so she can be released back into the wild. Wheels are true, BB is brand new and so are the cables, housing and bar tape. Just took the Biopace rings off and replaced them with some NOS Shimano rings 52t and 39t. She is sporting some wrap around SKS fenders to keep all of the wet road grime out of the precious moving parts. Wellgo pedals with black toeclips and a lightly used Bontrager saddle. On my scale she is just tipping over 21 pounds give or take a little. A great steel frame bike from a very reputable bicycle company.
