I think 32 spokes but would have to check. Likewise not sure of the rear hub OLD. Front was Q/R.

call me crazy but I’m willing to pay 400USD for that
Do not need at all, but I have a soft spot for this era D-A, not to mention the lugged Allez.

just buy that, it’s worth more after a little cleanup or for a guest bike

Now I’m trolling eBay for NOS CXP30s to make a disc wheelset out of.

Good luck
But you’re better off trying to find the kinlin xr31 or one of its clones(?) that a few companies tried to sell. Hunt sold a polished silver version and hope(?) sold a 16/8 and 24h bead blasted silver version
Hunt 20/24

Did you buy it? The listing is gone.

Yeah. Not as nice in person, but I picked it up anyways.
Shifters are crap Tiagra replacements, other components are a bit scratched up. The fork is aluminum blades, I forgot Specialized had those that looked like lugged steel from afar. The crank has shoe rub, but that’s fine Its the piece I was mostly after.
D-A hubs are just dusty, rims are in great shape. Has a cool Specialized branded headset.
The sellers dad was the original owner.

This is probably too small and I have no business buying anything roadbike, still tempting tho. Maybe not a great price, but they put the money to good use.

tomorrow i’m going to check this miyata out for my tiny cousin who needs a commuter. seems like a pretty good deal for its condition, just hoping the components are in decent shape too. Miyata 612 GT Gravel Touring Bike - bicycles - by owner - bike sale

I’ve never seen a poorly- built Miyata, they always seem nicely brazed up. You probably are well aware, but if not IMO look closely at and try the brakes, if it was a 27"-to-700c conversion braking may work but not be great.

Rescued this Bridgestone MB-3 from the thrift store last weekend for $15
And immediately blew out the budget with some nice XT eBay stuff

Oh that makes me want to put a brass barrel adjuster on the similarly vintage XT dangler on my Sam.
