I was stationed in West Germany and in 1982 I did a 3 day tour from Nurenberg to Bamburg and back. Road to my 1st duty station in Illishiem, then to Bamburg and back to Nurenberg. My bike was a Miyata Grand Touring(1000) with Cannondale panniers. Had a great time. Still have the frame! 126mm spacing,5 speed freewheel. What a bike.
