Well, Dave, here are a couple of clues.  The Specialized models of interest to this forum were manufactured by Miyata. Every Expedition I've seen (someone...
Hi all -- first time in here. Have owned a Miyata 210 from new in 1986. At the time it cost around $500.00. A friend bought the 610 for about $750.00 and we...
I picked up a Miyata Sport 10 mixte and was disconcerted to find that the right mixte stay was bent between the seat tube and the dropout on the gear side....
Bernard - Welcome to the group! The 210 is a great bike, and as you noted, very similar to the 1000 in all the critical areas. I have a '84, I think, and I...
Yesterday, I came across what looks to be a 1981 model Miyata 610 if anyone is interested. It looked to me to have all original components that match the ones...
I just realized from the catalog that it is the 1981 1000 model in a 23" that is listed at a 101 cm wheelbase , 55 cm TT & 72 degree angles. Below that it...
Hi Tim - those DiaCompe 986 look real nice. I am kinda looking for a set of Deore XT-2 but I would settle for the 986 for sure. I do not know what is on the...
Seems a little silly to me, taking a classic old steel frame and putting such modern stuff on it. In particular I'm mystified by the STI shifters with the XT...
... XT-2s would be lovely, and probably less prone to squealing. Honestly, any XT, LX, or DX canti of that era or close to it would be great. The 986s pop up...
Hi Doug, The bent stay is meant to be and normal. You guess right that it is for chain clearance with bigger clusters and chainrings. My Univega (built by...
However the wheelset and drivetrain/brakes alone are >$2000.00. Reserve price is a steal. Price out a new Koga-Miyata with similiar appointments and you're...
Hi All, I posted a few months ago about my 1000 comfort bike conversion back to a touring bike. (BTW: she's much happier now) The conversion was completed...
agreed, the price is reflective of the xt groupo, not the frame itself... but still, imho the bike looks much better in good old fashion shimano 600/suntour...
Wow. A Waterford touring frameset, new XT drivetrain for $1600.00....sign me up! ... From: j c <myredraleigh@...> Subject: Re: [MiyataSpecTour] Re:...
I'm not some much of a fan of the flight deck shifters on a touring bike. The ergonomics are a bit better with the larger flight deck shifter but more to...
While overhauling my newly-acquired 1982 Miyata 1000, I noticed that the fork crown race (the cone-shaped thing on top of the fork crown that presses up into...
I would suspect that the broken bearing rings Are related to your problem, that the prior owner tried ( as you did ) to tighten the headset properly and...
could it be a 27mm crown race on a 26.4? ... problem, that the prior owner tried ( as you did ) to tighten the headset properly and promptly broke them. From...
I'm speculating but it sounds as if someone may have swapped a 1" J.I.S. crown race for the original ISO size as Chuck mentioned. Or maybe that's not the...
Hi Walt - I'm not much of a gear-head myself and as I am finding out with my upgrades this can get very difficult - but fun! What I can tell you is this. The...
As noted on an earlier post, I would like a set of these for my Miata 210... but .. what the heck gives with this ??? I can bye a new Paul for this kind of...
So I finally picked up my Specialized Expedition that I put on lay-a- way. I've posted pictures on the group. It is labeled 83 expedition under jkguinness in...
