Miyata NINE14
Anyone have a clue how I may be able to tell the year of this bike, it's fully set-up with Shimano 105 SLR series components? Rides like a dream, any help would be greatly appreciated.

There will be a serial number on the underside of the bottom bracket. The first letter will give you the rough year of manufacture:
N=1985
O=1986
P=1987
Q=1988
etc...

A 914 with 105 could be 1989, 1991 or 1992.
