Info on an older miyata
I just posted on this bike over in the rode bike area, but it was pointed out that perhaps I would be better of in the vintage section....hmmm Dont really think of the 80s as too vintage, but i guess thats getting to be 20 years old at this point...
the post:
I've asked about this bike before, but I have some pics now and from what I've seen on the site, there are a bunch of very miyata knowledgable people out there currently...
I would love to hear what they know about this bike, year made, original price, distribution, value...although I'm not going to be selling it, still getting plenty of good use out of it since I bought it....2 years ago?
Also if anyone has a catalogue showing this bike i would love to see that too. Okay, here come the pictures of my baby...

Looks like a Team Miyata - a bike I drooled over at the LBS in the mid 1980s, but couldn't afford at the time. Here's a thread from this board: https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...ht=miyata+team
