Handsome Rebuilt 1981 Miyata 1000 Touring Road Commuter-5’9”-6’1” - $350 (mission district)

Versatile and highly regarded vintage steel lugged 57cm 15 speed 1981 Miyata One Thousand touring bike that we just overhauled with some new and updated parts and is ready for an adventure.

Handbrazed in Japan with lightweight double butted Tange Champion cro-moly tubing with forged Suntour dropouts, fancy cut out lugwork, braze-ons for racks and fenders, and quality components.

We took this down to the bare frame, rattle canned with new dove grey paint, and then rebuilt with more modern aero brake levers, more modern shallower drop bars, beautiful forged Nitto stem, new cables and housing, new brake pads, new chain, new cloth bar wrap freshly shellacked and finished with twine.

Headset and bottom bracket bearings cleaned and packed with fresh grease. Everything is adjusted, tightened, cleaned, and tuned.

With stable touring geometry, wide range gearing for hill climbing, incredibly strong cantilever brakes, bomber 36 spoke wheels, rack braze-ons and clearance for fenders, this bike can be your everyday commuter, your grocery getter, your overnight camping bike, or take you on a loaded tour.

I can’t say enough good things about how this bike rides and handles, it has a dreamy supple feel but is still very responsive and alive. This is a coveted model for a reason!

The paint we did looks classy but is not a perfect job, it’s a legendary frame and deserving of a professional powder coat or paint job some day if you feel like it but it is fine as is now. We didn’t install new tires to keep the price lower but these have good tread.

This bike has a shorter top tube than seat tube for an easier reach to the handlebars. Will fit a long legged 5’9” to an average or shorter legged 6’1”, with a sweet spot about 5’11” or 6’.

$350 with a different but good saddle, does not include Brooks B17 in photos.
