if the miyata is a conversion, it's more than likely 126 spacing, which would easily fit the van vessel wheelset. something you may or may not have though of: both wheelsets are 700c and you'll be installing them on a frame designed for 27 inch wheels. if you're running brakes, you very well might need long reach calipers. you'll also have tons of tire clearance... so you could run huge tires if you wanted.

xcutterx has van dessel hubs on his country road bob. they're really nice. they're sealed and have allen key fixing bolts. however, i'm not sure you can re-space them down to 120. thus, if you're going to get a new frame the van dessel hub spacing could be a problem.

food for thought:
