Just got a track bike

Hey just got a Miyata track bike from a guy up in Berkeley area. I'm not sure of the year or anything about this bike. ANyone know a good place to find info on these bikes? I'll probably post a picture soon so maybe someone might recognize it and educate me on this bike. Thanks.

I meant the history of this bike. I liked the frame and such, my buddy who's been a fixie for a while told me it was a good bike at a good price, $350 complete. I know that they're no longer distributed in the US and that Miyata is still around, I just was curious about the time period and such. It looks to be from the 80's, and has some odd nitto bars.
