Hey guys, First time poster and new(ish) owner of a Miyata 1000. If my bike looks familiar, it's because I got it off of sfbaybikeguy, who is one of the...
Hi All, I am new to this group so I hope I am not asking a redundant question. I was recently given two Miyata bikes – each lettered "Gran Touring" but no...
Hi guys, I need to sell off some of these bikes. Can't ride 'em all. First is a Heron Wayfarer frame w/Chorus headset 53cm in silver. It has a couple of hours...
Hi All I have posted several images of my Miyata bike - I hope someone here can help me in identifying the model - folder : "Darrell Peart's Miyata" Also - I...
Darrell, I suspect that your bike is a Miyata 1000 from 1980. The head tube badge/logo matches the 1000 models shown in both my 1978 and 1979 catalogs (i.e.,...
Hi Darrell and Ian. Darrell, I sent you an email regarding this matter earlier today and about the 615GT you have. :). Anyway, I thought that your bicycle may ...
Leigh, While the '81 catalog shows the 610 model also coming in burgundy with front fork decals, it lists and shows this model with a Sun Tour Vx front...
Hi Ian. I know the 3-notch lockrings you are talking about. They were really common - I've seen them on a lot of different models. The tool you specified...
Hi I'm not sure if you got my other message, so I'm sending you another one (yahoo mail is confusing). I'm definately interested in your spare Miyata 615 - if...
I have scanned a couple of Miyata brochures from the ealy 1980s (that's when i bought my Team Miyata, Miyata 1000 and Miyata Ridge Runner). I still have them...
I have posted two Miyata Brochures and hope you enjoy them also. I also have a copy of the original Miyata Owners Manual (it is non model specific and pretty...
Hi everyone, I found what appears to be a pristine 712 for $160 that I'm 99% sure I'm buying. It's lavender and white- does anyone know what year this bike...
Hi Nick, Welcome to the list. Mid to late '80s is a good guess; that's when Miyata began the spec of splined tubing. If it were any later it would probably be...
Hi Dan, Thanks for the info! Looks like mine (I just bought it) is an '86, guessing from the serial number. Do the 86's have splined tubing? I tried shining...

It's an '85, 52cm in great shape. Triple butted chromoly frame and fork, beautiful Sugino GLP double crankset, SunTour Cyclone F/R derailleurs, ST Symetric DT...
Hi all, I just found your group and am impressed with your bikes! I've been looking for a mid 80's tourer for some time and was limiting my search for a Trek...
Hi Bob, Welcome to the list. The Specialized Expedition was "officially" made in '82 and '83 and I believe all models had three bottle cage mounts (anybody...
