1983 Miyata 710. I bought it in a garage sale for $5 about 18/19 months ago...taking my time tearing her down and building her back up. Only thing left are the decals that I ordered through JRrestore. Hopefully I will get them this week so I can ride her next weekend when it's supposed to be beautiful weather!
I have taken some liberties with the restoration and altered a few things here and there.
All the compnents are original except for the RD but then that is a NOS duplicate of what originally came on the bike. New, slightly larger tires (27-1/4") Marathons. New wrap, hoods, cables and housing along with new spokes and saddle...everything else is original on the bike. I powder coated and tried to match the original as best as possible.

I will post more and better pictures once I get the decals on.
