I picked up a 1981 Miyata 912 this summer intending to make it a rain/winter bike. Put on fenders and a rear rack. I love it so much, I feel guilty riding it in the rain. It is all original, Shimano 600 Arabesque, galvanized spokes on alloy rims, etc. I did put on some Nitto noodle bars and a new stem, but that is it. I love the geometry and the ride, very stable. When a sunny day came around this winter I hopped on my beloved '06 Lemond and came home "out of love" with it. The geometry is just wrong for me, too big in the top tube. My hands were numb, along with my feet and crotch. Despite an ultra short stem and the saddle slid forward, it is just too big. It is a great bike, super stable and responsive, just too big. So, I stripped it, built up a used Serotta frame with similar geo to the Miyata, and have the Lemond up for sale. The 912 has gotten me smitten with high-end vintage road rides!
