Tom,
I haven't ridden one, but they say,(and after obsessing for months, I agree) it is the best size for city and randoneuring. Not as small as 26", not as big as 700c, they create a very...

Miyata 312, '88 I think. I found it left for pickup on the roadside, owner confirmed it was free. Even my size, I'm thinking fixie or 650b conversion for a city ride.

I'd be tempted to upgrade the wheels and hubs (maybe an SA 8 spd and newer dynamo and light) and leave the rest original so I could use it and show it off more often! I am jealous, you officially...

A little further examination of the catalog makes this even more interesting. It is definitely a 1977 Grand Prix, they marketed two mixte bikes that year, the Grand Prix and Record Limited which...

You probably missed the other post, the confusing thing about this Grand Prix is that the serial number on the frame was one supposedly used only for high end 531 frames from the Worksop plant. It's...

[QUOTE=noglider;9318444]So are you asking if it's from 1976 or 1986. Definitely closer to 1976.
