On mine, all the date codes are Jun-Aug 1988, except one 1987 caliper.
Serial number is 90440365. The leading 9 is not well struck and could almost be mistaken for a zero.
No markings on the steerer.
More date codes: one crankarm = '91, the headset = '92

T-Mar, can you confirm that my Miele Condor is an '86 since you have the catalog? It has Suntour Sprint components which would have been an upgrade. Also, where did the Condor fall in the hierarchy? Thanks.

It's a 1987 model, not a 1986, 100% certain. It was upgraded from Shimano Light Action SIS. Position was 13th out of 16 road models. Please reciprocate with the serial number. TIA.

Is there someplace where I can get more info about Miele bikes and their hierarchy besides the brochure on My Ten Speeds?
I will be thinning the herd next spring and this bike will probably go.

Miele was most popular from 1986-1996. I have literature covering eight of those years. BTW, the wheelset matchs the specs.

Well, it's pretty obvious from the paint alone that the Condor in that catalog does not match yours. I identified the years for all the CCM, Miele and Sekine catalogs on that site and supplied them to Randy but he never updated them.
