My, but you fellows have some amazing stuff. It's always interesting to learn about what sorts of things were out there, and what people did with 'em. Here's mine:


She's a '85 Miyata Pro, as far as I can tell. I did not build her, but am considering some possible minor modifications, probably just pedals and leather bar wraps- practicality being the primary cause. She kind of fell into my lap this spring and is easily the smoothest and most comfortable bike I've ever had, and easily one of the fastest things on the trail. (Which probably isn't an entirely good thing...) A friend of mine who owns a Miyata cued me in to the manufacturer. He gave his own bicycle the name "RAVAGE PHOBOS" and although I tried to follow suit, the place-holder of "Haruko" stuck before I could think of anything crazy and Japanese enough that I actually liked the sound of.

But hey. You want Crazy and Japanese? Witness:

Miyata Cheese

Argh, what have I done? Now if you'll excuse me, there's a bin I need to be ill into...
