Just posted a new thread about this minty 1986 Miyata 100, which is going off to college with our daughter. Love being able to say we 'got her a Miyata for graduation.' She likes the drop bars and says she doesn't want a rack, but it may get fenders, possibly even Honjos. (She's been very very good.) And thanks again to cb400bill for his help snagging this beauty.

I am thinking seriously of picking up another mixte to fix up for my wife, with North Road bars and panniers as displayed so stylishly in this thread. We don't have a neighborhood boulangerie but I can see her using the bike to pick up our weekly veggies from the CSA dropoff.
