FS: KogaMiyata "GentsRacer" Road Bicycle, 55cm toptube ($500)

Elegant sloped shoulder fork, horizontal top tube, and downtube shifters
makes it a classic. Ultegra brakes, rear derailleur, and rear hub make it
modern & reliable. Local framebuilder Tony Pereira added two eyelets to
the front & rear dropouts, then I gave it a sexy new red "candy coat"
powdercoating to show off the lines. It has some scratches from use, but
it's a solid ride.
