There's not many manufacturers where the bottom of the line road bike was Cr-Mo Main tubes like the Miyata 110.
I too would very much like a Miyata 1000 or a Team.
The top tubes seem to be on the short side in relation to the Seat tube length, I found that I fit best on a Miyata 1 size bigger than what I normally ride.
NO , your not alone. I have plenty of Miyatas..
I DO like your statement on " many maufacturers" It characterizes Miyata's theme, their whole approach.. VERY few Co.s had such strong representation of CHROMO tubed frames in their line-up. Most others had WAY more Hi-steel models than they had CHROMO in any given year, another exceptional aspect of the Co. & a good observation on your part. They also actually made their own bikes & for others too. On many models they provided their own tubing, made by them as well.
