I don't recall having seeing any pre-1981 Miyatas (here in US/North America) -- was that the first they began exporting here? I believe they are a very old...
Tim, Which Technomic stem do you have in the Miyata? That thing looks higher than any I've ever seen, and I'd like to raise the Expedition's bars up some more....
That's a standard Technomic, at 225mm long. The Deluxe is shorter. Quality has them, any shop should be able to order. Tim ... any I've ever seen, and I'd...
"Quality has them..." as in QBP the wholesaler in Minnesohhhhhhhhhhta? If that's who you're referring to, I didn't know that they now had a retail arm to their...

Hey Terry, ... tell me a bit more about this '79. Did it seem to be originally spec'd when you bought it? What are the components. What about all the ...
I've heard of Univegas that are very similar to the Expedition/Miyata 1000 family, and I too, assume them to be Miyata-built. I've also seen a few Centurions...
Tim, I recently read something about the guy who was Univega. His name is Ben Lawee and he imported bikes to fill out the price points for his Univega (used to...
Chris, It seems to be mostly stock. Has rack and fender eyelets on the drop outs, single bottle cage bosses, rear brake cable stop and the signature chain slap...
Terry - Nice bike! I like the color. And I've seen pics of some older Miyatas in a very similar scheme. Kinda like the way the color on the 1000 and...
I had a close friend back in the early '80s who bought an Univega Grand Tourismo. That was a VERY nice touring bike and I believe the frame highly resembled...
Hello Bryant, Thanks for the reply and generous offer to help with the info. I was offline over the weekend so just now able to reply. Here are 4 things that...
That would be spectacular of Bryant! I personally would be interested in anything related to the Specialized Expeditions and Sequoias of the '80s. I would...
Hi all - I'm looking forward to being a regular participant in this group. I have a 1984 Expedition which I bought new, so have some background with the...
Well guys, The stem is finally off the Expedition as off this afternoon. I could not get it to break loose. I took it over to a local mechanic today who works...
Group, I need some clairification: do we now have 2 websites? Also, how do we reply to the group? I just sent out a copy of a Craigslist ad for a 51cm...
