Helped me immensely with my 1981 Miyata 210.

The website has scanned catalogs from 1981-1994
THANKS HERMAN!

I think more you give people more they ask, please understand that I did my best to help the Miyata Bicycle owners.

I just got a really cool 310 from the junkyard, everything is suntour and weinmann, so in '81 105 components were either too expensive or not yet created, I guess. I love those golden arrow components for their aesthetics.

Hi everyone...sorry if this has already been discussed. If it has, I've been unable to find it. My question concerns the 1988 Miyata 512. I know the main tubes use triple butted splined tubing. I've looked at the scanned catalogues on blogspot and it looks like the 712 models and higher from that year were made with chromoly seat and chain stays. The catalogue does not specify what the seat and chain stays on the 512 are made with. I'm assuming hi-ten straight gauge but it seems odd to make a frame with triple butted splined main tubes and low grade straight gauge for the seat and chain stays. If anyone has more info, I would greatly appreciate it. Here is the page of the catalogue I am looking at:

If the catalog says you dont get cromo in those certain parts, you are probably outta luck. but hey, look on the bright side, easy parts to replace with way lighter options available!

+1 In general the stay material matched the fork material.

T-Mar, If you're still collecting Miyata serial numbers I have a Miyata Americana I've had for ages and it just doesn't quit. Serial Number G597027. Bought in 78 or 79 I've recently resurrected it for some commuting.

I found this years ago after I purchased my 916...it's a great collection of Miyata catalogues.

Hello folks.
Me new to the forum, and riding a SS frankenstein just now. But...
I have a Miyata Triton frame, was whole, but now robbed, and learned here that it is a decent frame.
As I lose some weight, I will be wanting to build it back as a SS-FW, but am interested in a smaller dia. wheel set than the stock 27's.

Any suggestions?

Hello

You might get more attention here by starting a new thread, rather than adding to an old one. Having said that, 700 wheels have a radius 4mm smaller than 27 inch. Long reach brakes may be necessary.

btw, nice freakin guitars.

Mike

Thanks Mike.
Brakes? Bikes need brakes? <g>
In the getto where I live, I haven't seen a bike with working brakes in years.

I'll be wanting to upgrade the brakes in any case.

I just purchased a red Miyata Sport 10FF (with a small sticker that says Miyata 1024, don't know what that means), high-tensile steel tubing and a forked top tube (from the seat to the handlebars).

serial #: L203357

Does anyone have any info on this one?
Thanks!

I believe that 1024 simply refers to the fact that it's hi-tensile steel.

oh, thanks!
