Distinguishing features

Touring "men's" bike. Maroon frame with gold "Miyata Six Fifteen" stickers. One of the two "Six" stickers is missing the top half of the "S" (right side, near pea-sized chipped paint on head tube). Three other bike stickers: bike broker fort collins (gold w/ black text) near cassette; Spline (yellow text) triple butted chrome molybdenum tubes (white text) miyata (pink text) on upper seat tube; fort collins bicycle co-op (white text) on upper seat tube below spline sticker. Heavily chipped paint on the chainstay. VP Components pedals (blue). Bontrager bar tape (blue). Tubus rear rack (silver). Wald front basket (silver). Shimano Ultegra rear wheel hub. Shimano XTR rear derailleur. Paul brake levers. WTB Deva saddle (black). Schwalbe Marathon Supreme tires. Velo Orange retro (water bottle) cage. Mirrcycle handlebar mirror (left side). [Note: the second "digit" of the serial # should be a zero, but there's a slash on it that make it look like a "Q," however I believe Miyata only used letters for the first "digit" of a serial number.]
