Dump find Miyata 610

'Lil Knee Scuffer
This bike falls into the you never know what you will find at the dump catagory .
i picked it off the pile with a broken derailure , i got it home and investegated further to find out it wasent broken but the bolt that holds the derailure at the correct angle loostened up and allowed it to slip forward. 10 minuets later the bike was fixed.

i dont think i need to explain how suprised i was to find this bike , ill let the pictures do the talking.

unfortunately this is a bike for giraffes at a whopping 64 cm , I cant even climb on the bike at 5'11 .
I am trying to sell it local with no luck.

Cool bike. I love mine. yours is an earlier one without the Cantilever brakes. I see the fork is 1024, but what is the frame material? I lucked out with triple butted spline chromoly on my $50 25" bike. It's far from stock now with the only original parts being the frame, fork and headset.
I think I'm going to refinish the paint this weekend.

That's a "chromoly" frame. Probably double butted steel which may not be quite as light as the triple, though I'm not sure. Probably a negligible amount. There were a few years when they were just 1024 frames which aren't as desirable. Nice find.
 
Welcome to the Cabe. FYI gotta have a price if it’s for sale. Glwts.

think they moved it on me , i never intended to sell it on here just mention for curious minds that it was for sale. rather sell it local which is what i am trying to do to avoid the shipping hastle.
just wanted to showcase my dump find hah.

i had this posted in light weights.

Gotta love free stuff! I thought I saw your post in the for sale section. Mods probably moved.

kinda sad what people throw away. At least try to give it away before you just chuck it. Some people just don’t care or want to make an effort.
