Also take note - those Miyata head "lugs" are one piece formed with the headtube - they are not brazed, silver soldered or filed in that area. Can't recall if this was some form of cast piece or another.

Ooooh - ride qualities. Now there is a tantalizing thread in itself. What that '61 doesn't have going for it in terms of lug thinning is made up for in its ride, that is for sure.
