Wow, I didn't expect to get so much debate over this frame! I guess I never really realized that Japanese frames from the 80s-90s would fit modern parts! This is really what I want. A good steel frame that will fit modern parts to make it easier to get replacements. Possibly a touring frame. The low end Miyata from the late 70s I'm riding now could possibly fit that bill. It has braze-ons for fenders and racks. It has fenders (although the front fender has to be straightened out before I can put it back on) with the only problem being that it's high-tensile steel. Makes it a bit heavy. All the components seem to be nicer though. Needs replacement rims as well since it has chromed steel rims. Adds to the weight a bit much.
