I believe this Miyata 610 is 1983. Photos are as I found it on Craigslist in August---$125. I believe it was all original, except the tires. Love this bike, but I plan to update as necessary to make a great functional touring rig, while keeping the classic looks. Since taking the photos, I have installed a 46 cm Nitto Noodle bar and Nitto Technomic Deluxe stem to get a little more height and length (the original Sakae "Randnner" bar was just way too narrow for me...). Would really like to go to 700 wheels, just to have more tire options (Need to get back to the original gumwalls). Any wheel suggestions? Also need brake levers that keep the classic lines, but provide an upgrade over the 'flimsy' feel of the original Diacompe's. Finally, I need a good frame polishing compound---I think she spent a little time stored outside. I will post the final result this winter.
