HELP :Seat Post size for a 1991 Miyata Team Titanium
I am restoring two Miyata Team Titanium road bikes. One is a 1990 and the other is a 1991 based on the serial numbers.
The seatpost sizes are i think the same for the both years...
Would appreciate any Miyata Guru or someone with a sure answer to help out in this one.
Thank you very much.

Thank you chi-james
Speaking of 26.8, it was a common size on some of their early nineties MTB lines and am sure the size doesn't fit the Team Titanium Road bikes.
Based on my rough estimate i would say it is sub 26mm.

Can you also confirm the quick cross was Miyata's hybrid line ? and the Alumicross was the Cyclocross variant ?

Would you trust random comments from others on the internet, or would you take your bike to a nearby LBS and get it measured?
Confirming other Miyata models? Check out the catalogs that are on line.

I'm assuming the OP was hoping that someone on BF had one of these which could be used to verify. Otherwise, Thrifty Bill is right, measure it properly or deal with the consequences.

Looking at the miyata catalogs website hasn't revealed much since the spec sheets didn't specify seatpost sizes .
