Greetings fellow collectors, The chain on my newest acquisition (as of today) is a Miyata 610. The previous owner put in a rear derailleur that is now...
Deore & XT are my preferred for the triple. Wide gates accept thicker 6 speed chains, play nice with indexing, and take a beating pretty well. my $.02 On Fri,...
I will second the Deore advice. Cheap, last long, can handle 34 tooth cassette. I use SRAM chains but the Wipperman Connex is my fave but more expensive. ...
That's a great deal for a 610 frame if it is intact, no rust, damage etc. I have both a 610 and a 1000. We now live temporarily in Madison, WI. Yesterday...
Ditto on the XT rear as well, using the shimano indexed barends and they run smooth. I was originally planning for a Suntour XC upgrade, however came across a...
I got an email yesterday from the BestGrips guy - he's got enough testers. All done. He's still sending out samples to the people who responded early but no...
Not mine. Pictures on the link. From the Lost Wages, NV CraigsList. Text of ad follows the link to the ad. http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/bik/1154286576.html ...
just a heads up guys. i don't believe the 610 exsisted before the late 70's at the earliest, and it certainly was not made outta alum. ... From: Bob Hufford...
Hi all, I new to the group, so first of all hello! I have the opportunity to buy one of two Sequoias and I have a few questions. I'm pretty sure one of them is...
i'm a 6'6" giant twig and rode a 1981 miyata 610 for a while with a super tall seat post and handlebars. i believe the bike is a 54cm. handles great, not...
Hi, My '86 Sequoia is a 51cm ctt and has a steep seat tube angle. A Brooks doesn't go far enough back for me on a 'standard' setback post. Other than that the...
I bought a second hand collapsable igloo style cooler made of some sort of vinyl and insulated. I tried to mount as well as I could with a zip tie but the...
Sounds like you need some form of bag support. I have a cooler at times on the front of my bike but I used the rigid model. Another alternative might be to...
Yes, I now believe. Not all bikes are equal. Went for a 20 mile ride on my Miyata 610.  When done, I felt like I hadn't even gone a mile. What a...
That is GREAT to hear, problem is ..... now you've been spoiled and anything less just won't do! Now you'll want to expand the fleet so as to have a bike for...
Nope, I'm already a bike junkie. The fleet consists of: -Gary Fisher Tassajara (fixed frame) mountain bike 21 speed -Raleigh Technium City Lite 18 speed (My...
Good for you!!! The bike is brilliant and you must feel amazed with your potential. What kind of tubing did you use and why? Isn't Velo Orange a great site!!!!...
Hey Tim, Your new "Fricker-yata 1000" is really exceptional. While I've built up many vintage frames, it must be very rewarding to build up a frame that you've...
Hey fellow touring bike aficionados. Is it possible to convert from 27" to 700c on a bike with Canti Brakes ? I have successfully converted from 27" to 700c on...
I came across these while looking around the great Cyclofiend site. They are four very nice Miyata 1000's all unique in their own way by the individual build...
Hey Tim, that is one awesome bike you built!!! kudo's to you, I'm jealous. I also didn't realize you had a web-site that is loaded with really good stuff. I...
... Hi Paul, I've done a few conversions on bikes with normal center or sidepull brakes including one 650b conversion but have been told (by many mechanics and...
If no one beats me to the punch i'll pull up some previous conversations that cover this topic in detail. in short: yes it is POSSIBLE one of two methods......
Hi, Paul --- I don't have a fork like this (http://tinyurl.com/pc3o3d), but I would also guess the braze-on is a headlight mount. Regrading the 28" wheel size,...
