Whiloe I have not personally expreienced any problems with Miyata's APA bonded frames, some of the European members have reported problems.
This is what I thought might had happened, but the guy I bought it from have the original fork, I think he was trying to make it a regular road bike or something.. He just pieced it together with mix parts, I'm hoping to get it back to original, what parts did this come with , bar-end shifters ?
