For Sale: Complete bikes - 55cm Miyata NineTwelve & 55cm 531 Baldassari

I'm selling much of my bike collection over the next few months to help fund a wedding and in anticipation of moving to a smaller house.

I'm splitting most of them and selling the parts, but these are in such nice original condition I thought it a shame to take them apart.

I'm in Brussels at the moment, postage to the UK, France, Germany, The Netherlands or Luxembourg is included in the price.

Lots of high res pics of the bikes are here: https://plus.google.com/photos/108015014123790762037/albums/6067837247164384609

1988 55cm Miyata Nine Twelve £225 posted to the UK SOLD

All completely original apart from the front QR skewer and the saddle. Full spec in the catalog here: http://www.miyatacatalogs.com/2007/12/miyata-catalog-1988.html

Light signs of use, but overall it's in very smart condition - looks more like a year-old bike than a 26 year old one and rides perfectly. A very good frame that I find much stiffer than 531c and around the same weight. The frame has eyelets and clearances for mudguards so would make a great year-round ride, randonneur or winter trainer. This bike wasn't sold in Europe and has a shop sticker from NYC on the frame.

Triple butted splined tubing - the same as the Miyata Pro and Koga Miyata Full Pro of the period.
Complete Shimano 600 Tricolor Ultegra 7 speed groupset (Chainset, BB, Mechs, Shifters, Brakes, Levers, Headset, Hubs, Pedals) with Biopace rings - all working perfectly.
Wolber Alpina Rims

55cm 1978 Baldasarri £225 posted to the UK - NOW SOLD

Recently purchased from the original owner. This was built to order by an Italian man in a small bike shop in Paris. It's in amazing condition having seen very light use and always been kept in a centrally heated apartment. The tyres are the original tubs so I wouldn't ride on them. With a little bit of gentle cleaning and polishing it'd be in concourse condition.

Reynolds 531 Butted Frame tubes, Zeuss fork crown, tips and long, adjustable dropouts
Stronglight chainset, bb, headset
Campagnolo Nuovo Record mechs & shifters
Campagnolo Nuovo Tipo hubs and Nisi Mercurio d'Oro rims
Weinemann 500 Brakes & Levers with excellent original hoods
3t "Caput" 70mm Stem and 40cm 3t Grand Prix Bars
GES Leader suede, padded saddle

Please PM me if you're interested, if you have any questions about the bikes, please ask in the comments and I'll reply so that everyone can see.

Prices dropped. I can also swap either pedals for spd or look delta if that's helpful. Taking the Miyata out for a ride today, it's a lovely ride and ideal for winter - very easy to fit proper mudguards.

Hi
PM sent on Baldasarri (that I mis-spelt...)
F

I think he is awayyy

Sorry - away working in Scotland for a few days. Back now and will reply asap.

Both still available and prices dropped.

I won't have time to post before Christmas, but I could bring either of them with me on the Eurostar tomorrow night to be collected at St Pancras at just after 7pm.

I think the photos link might not work unless your logged into a google account - sorry! Please PM me if you're interested and I'll email attachments.

Hi I do have an ingterest - is the size measured from centre crank to top of seat tube? Is the paintwork really up to being 'concourse' Thank you

@user49182 - replied to your PM

No reply as yet to my questions sent some while ago. Thank you

After a series of mails and exchanges interrupted by holidays I made payment for the Baldassari last week - he should in the process of licking the stamps and squeezing it into a letterbox

That's good to know, thank you. I hope the bike is better than his communication.

Sorry for being rubbish at replying - hadn't worked out how to turn on email notifications. Should get them now.

Miyata is still available, pending reply from dju.
