Miyata 512
My first post here. I have a Miyata 512 (63cm frame size) for more than 15 yrs, most of that time spent sitting in the room as I prefer MTB. Anyway, last week I reassembled this bike with Shimano 600 (6401 series, brand new out of a box), SPD pedals and Gipiemme Techno 416 wheels (produced in 1997, never driven). Frame was stripped, polished, chrome plated and partially repainted with red pearl/metallic combo. I took it for a 50km test drive and I couldn't believe how comfortable this bike is.
