I'd buy it for the Suntour Superbe components
alone. The Miyata frame is a good, undervalued if anything.

Seller says "about" 21 inch frame.
looks bigger than a 53cm frame to me.
I was thinking maybe a 55 or 56cm frame.
If I wasn't waiting on my "holy Grail" you'd
have competition.

I was thinking 21 was a 54 anyway,so if its a 55, even better. my catalog lists 50,54,57,60,so if its a 57 it might be a little big

'however it may require new tubes'
I hope the seller doesn't mean frame tubes!
This bike looks great if only because it has the same color scheme as the Koga Miyata team bikes of the late 70s/early 80s. Remember Daniel Willems, Caprisonne, IJsboerke, etc.?

the pulled the auction due to an error. I think the error was they didnt start with a high enough price and the owner balked. it was listed through a listing service,and I think there shipping rates were wrong as well. I'll keep looking

Maybe they read the interest here?
I didn't bid or make an offer although I liked it.
Other, did you get the Doc's Miyata?

Now, if it were a vintage Masi, Cinelli, Herse... I would have been back the same night!
I was waiting in hopes of him dragging more old "racing bike" stuff home anyway.
Maybe next week..

sounds like a guy my dutch connection found.
has a shed full of old bikes just crammed in there.
I'm hoping a Jabo or Joco frame shows up in the pile.

I have a Miata Pro in excellant condition that has Shimano 600 on the shifters and DuraAce on the derailers. Can anyone tell me what this means?
I am going to sell the bike and would like to get an idea of how much it is worth.

This was just recently posted on the CR list:
"if it is a "Pro Miyata" as the one I bought new about 1980/1.Then it would be 600 AX with Dura Ace EX front and rear derailleurs.Also oddly enough 600 "arabic" dt shifters.The hubs are I guess normal 600 small flange with araya rims.The brakes are DC RGC sidepulls.
The "Team Miyata" from this period is all Dura Ace with a mix of AX and EX.
I hope this helps.I'll email some pics if you like.
Warm Regards,Harris Spracher
Waynesboro Va."
Just thought I'd share that.
