I guess I am the only owner of a 210 here, in fact I have two of them. The frame isn't the same as a 610, the 1000 and 610 share the splined quad butted tubing with the main difference being the gruppo used and maybe a bottle cage. The 210 has a triple butted frame the fork doesn't have mid level braze ons and would need canti rack. I run my 210 with a hanging handlebar bag and use the rear rack and large saddle bag. I don't ride the bike loaded for tour but around 40lb. load with one mid-size pannier. I use it for gravel/dirt rail trail/ two track and road and it handles dodging cobbles and branches with quickness but it is stable ride and I can century on it and feel ok the next day. As the french say "it carries a tired rider well". I run the bike stock with the original wheels and I have Kenda K 161 27"x1" 3/8" tires and fenders, I love all the Miyata touring bikes I have a mint 615 GT and restored two 1000s you can't beat them.
