Team Miyata acquired
Picked up a 52cm Team Miyata this weekend! Serial number is TW11270. That would make it a 91 if the dating process is right. According to the catalogs, 91 was frame only. Maybe that is why it is outfitted with 105. These pictures are as found. The shimano decal on the TT is individual letters instead of 1 decal. That decal as well as the shimano chainslap protector appear to have been on the bike a long time. It needs to be cleaned, but otherwise is in good condition. Here is the link to some pictures. I hope it works.

The serial number is so late in 1991 (early November) that it is almost certainly a 1992 model. Congratulations on your acquisition.

Nice! Looks like it's been ridden and enjoyed quite a bit. What are your plans for it?
