Aluminum frame hybrid bike with a chromoly fork. This bike would make a great, lightweight commuter or all-arounder bike. It's already equipped with a rear rack for mounting panniers or a basket to carry things, and the tire size (and clearance for new tires) is plenty for gravel tires, and/or fenders for all season riding.
Size
Great size for a taller rider, about 5'11" to 6'3", depending on dimensions.
57cm (seat tube length, center of bottom bracket to center of top tube)
56cm reach (top tube length, center to center)
83.5cm standover height (we recommend allowing an inch or two of wiggle room from your pubic bone height/inseam for comfort).
Frame
Lugged aluminum frange (Miyata Exclusive Aluminum Pressurized Adhesive) with a chromoly steel fork. Made in Japan for Miyata.
Black frame with cool undertones and slight shimmer. White and gold accents with a hint of yellow, orange and purple with a cute picture of a bear on the top tube.
Drivetrain
3X8 speed with Shimano Exage 500 LX derailleurs and STI shifters. Great range for climbing hills!
Headset, stem, handlebars, brakes
Black headset, Ritchey front cable hanger, black Sakae quill stem, silver Shimano cantilever rim brakes and Shimano STI levers (integrated with shifters).
Wheels/tires
700c wheelset with Araya Japan rims and silver Shimano Exage hubs. Currently has tan sidewall tires from previous owner - a city 700x38c in the front and slightly knobby 700x35c in the rear for extra traction when pedaling. These tires have some life left in them but may need to be changed out in the next year or two due to their age.
Saddle, Seatpost
Post Moderne suspension seatpost and black leather ergonomic TFI saddle with cutout for comfort.
Accessories/upgrades
Comes with a kickstand and a rear Blackburn MTN rack for attaching bags or a basket to carry things.
Pedals
We take pedals off for storage but will include basic used flat pedals depending on what we have available at the time of sale.
