Yes, the frame is incredibly clean aside from some saw dust and grease! There are a few scratches in the frame that I need to get refinished before they start to rust to badly.

What exactly does "high-tensile steel tubing" mean along with the other notation under that? I guess I just assumed the "CR" at the beginning of "CR-27L-E" had something to do with a cromo alloy of some sort. I personally couldn't find anything about this model in particular but most everything else that pops up about Miyata frames says they're triple butted steel. Of course, that doesn't mean a whole lot unless I can find that info about this model

Doesn't seem to be anything that goes back far enough to show this model in the catalogs. I'm joining the yahoo group to see if anyone has any info on there. Might not be able to find anything as it might have been a model released only in Japan.
