That Miyata still possesses much of its original components, thankfully. Brakes are dual pivot Shimano 105s, but [MENTION=340794]Dfrost[/MENTION] spotted a pair of Superbe short reach calipers and now those will be used. Makeshift strap-on fenders and a super muddy rear hub/wheel, in addition to the clutter and dirt. Poor thing lived a good then weird life. I'm finishing a Trek up for the Major Taylor people as well, and our Recycle and Reuse guy said after that I could work on the Pro Miyata. T'would be an honor! He laughed. I am so excited! I will be bringing wax, compound, and aluminum polish for this. This is where I really like working for free--a great project, refurb/restore, with a great result and a very quality bike back on the road, and of course a good chunk of change for Bike Works to keep them going. At some point I will have to get a Pro/Team/Aero Miyata (or a Koga Miyata!) in the 63cm size because...just look at it!
