Hi MST'ers I'm new to the world of Miyata. I have a mint condition 610 and a 618 on the way. I'm guessing that the 618 is a newer model, but basically the...
Hi Guys, There are some nice Miyata built Univega touring/sport touring bikes currently on ebay. The sizes are too big (57 to 59) for me or I woulda bought at...
Hi George, I'm not at all an expert on the 600-series Miyatas, but from what I've gleaned here and there the 610 started life (pre-'80s?) as a sort of sport...
Hello all, I'm looking to get my new-to-me Expedition looking as close to new as possible. It's in excellent overall shape but does have many minor scuffs and...
I have a Miyata 310 frame that has that strange single shifter boss on the top part of the downtube rather than the more standard two bosses that are placed...
Aaron, That boss was designed for Suntour top mount down tube shifters. The shifters attach to a single unit which then bolts to the boss. I have a bike with...
Does anyone have information on the Road Gentleman model from Koga Miyata? I found a 63cm NOS frame, and I am riding it as a singlespeed. I really like the...

Hey there folks, I'm 6'2 and looking a miyata 1000..I've never had the fortune to ride one, but I hear they're the cats purr. What I'm wondering is what the ...
I bought my '83 Expedition as a repainted framset a number of years ago and the generator wiring was already gone. Did these come from the factory with the...
The Expedition came as "generator ready". All it is/was is a piece of insulated wire that runs down through the down tube into the bottom bracket, loops over...
The Expedition came pre-wired but did not come spec'd with a generator or lights. I have no experience with the new hub generators, but the old Dynmo's etc put...
The last few days I swapped emails with Ted who crossed the USA on his vintage Specialized Expedition. He has a very nice account of it on his website. Many of...
Hey all, I'm trying to chase down the specifications on a couple of Miyatas I have, a 610 and a 618. Both seem to be very nice bikes and I love how they ride....
Hi there! Well, the 610 is earlier than the 618, with the 615 in between. As I understand it, the 610 started out as more of a "sport touring" bike than a true...
That's very similar to my 1981 610, except for size-wise! http://bunik.org/bikes/miyata/source/img_5081.htm Mine also originally had that same 118bcd SR Custom...

I have a Miyata 1000 I bought new in 1982. I rode it a few times and never got the bicycle bug, startd running instead. Have kept it all these years hanging...
