Hello all!

I just purchased a lovely 87 Miyata 1000! The frame in fantastic condition and a lot of original parts (though, a cheapo stem and handlebar setup)

It got me wondering about the tubing: I thought it was only the 1000LTs that had the triple butted tubing, but my new 1000 seems to have the stickers for triple butted.... can anyone shed any light?

I’m wanting to put some drop bars on it with new brake levers and handlebar end shifters

cheers, from a new member!
