Just picked up this nice Miyata 1000
Yes!
Been looking for one for a long time now. Believe this is a 1982/1983 model. Going to get this fixed up and take it on a nice, long tour this summer in BC!
Just needs a tune-up as it's been sitting in storage for several years.

yeah, I understand that the later models have some added features like the seat post braze-on's, etc. but these don't come up often and the price was way too good to turn down.
Looks like it was upgraded to bar-end shifters at some point...

Thanks, guys -
I think i will need some help as this will be a bit of a project bike.
Some of the components have some rust and some need replacing...definitely going to need a new chain, hoods, cables, possibly a rear derailer.
Mostly, though, it just needs a major tune-up! Got it for $200 so I'm not complaining...the frame, fork and wheels are in good shape. It's mostly original, too.

Congratulation on the deal of the day.
