Updated Team Miyata

Not sure of the year, but with the aero top-mount dt shifter boss I would guess this Team Miyata is from the mid '80s(?). I used a fork made by Mike Terraferma, a really nice guy and an excellent frame builder here in Miami. The frame shows very little use and only a couple of minor chips, the worst being on the dt from the front brake. I built it with a Dura Ace 7700 group that I had waiting around for the right frame. It's fitted with Williams 19 wheels, a King NoThreadset, a Litespeed Ti stem, and Nitto Neat 420 bars. I finished it this weekend and took it out today for an easy training ride and I have to say it is outstanding in every way. It's no lightweight at 19lbs 6oz, but it's stiff, stable, and a real pleasure to ride.

Well, here it is. Hope you like it.



The crank was a bit scuffed so polished was the way to go.



I had a buddy of mine who's a machinist fabricate the dt cable stops





I think this is a clever way of routing the shifter cables at the bb.
