Bikes: '84 Miyata 610 ‘91 Cannondale ST600,'83 Trek 720 ‘84 Trek 520, 620, ‘91 Miyata 1000LT, '79 Trek 514, '78 Trek 706, '73 Raleigh Int. frame.
The Cannondale (which is now out of the running) is 56cm
The Miyata CT-3000 is also 56cm
The Miyata 710 is 57cm
And the Trek is 22 1/2 inches
So, I'm thinking Miyata 710. It has the longest drop outs, and the Suntour shifters are attached to a brazed on fitting on top of the top tube, and I can remove them without things looking too odd. It'll be my intro to fixed, so going with the easiest frame makes a lot of sense. Thanks for pointing out drop out lengths, I hadn't thought they would be different.
My plan as always is to patiently follow Craig's and the Bay for a fixed wheel set and go from there. I'll read through posts and if anyone has any wheelset input I'll gladly listen.
Thanks for the help!
