This bike size would be good, I'm just on a tighter budget. Maybe I can trade frames with someone.
Miyata frames tend to run on the small size. I have a 23 inch myself, it measures 22 inches center to center.
Your best bet is to just find a 21 inch bike that fits you well, one that measures a true 21 inch center to center. If you like your components better, just to a swap between the two bikes. Almost all the vintage bikes I find are either 21 inch or 23 inch size. So you should be able to find one pretty quickly.
