Bikes: Upright and Recumbent....too many to list, mostly Vintage.

Like Chicago Al said, the 112 is the entry level of the Miyata road bikes. Miyata always calls their entry level bike the "One-something" for a long time it was the "One-Ten", then the "One-Twelve" ...its how many gears it has. The "One-Ten" is a Ten speed.


Despite being "entry-level" they're still good cr-mo frames, the components are a little on the cheap side on the 100 level bikes IMO. I took a One-Ten and put shimano 600 shifters and derailleurs, some Mafac brakes and a new crankset on it and its a great commuter now. I rode it to work this morning.
