The only thing Miyata made on your bike was the frame and fork. Everything else came from the same suppliers that sold to all the other brands in the world. Lever hoods are the only part that is hard to find. But you can always buy brand new brake levers with hoods, just not the exact model.
Example, 1/4" bearing balls (in your BB and rear wheel hubs) are still made of course, and can be bought on Amazon or your choice of shopping places. Other sized bearings are still available too. Cables, tires, tubes, rim strips, freewheels, and more are still available new.
