Description: About the framesetThis is a stunning example of a mid-80s Japanese steel frameset. Miyata made some of the best bicycles available during the 80s and 90s. Using their own triple butted chromoly steel tubing, this top of the range 1986 Pro Miyata was equipped with a full Suntour Sprint groupset. This particular year had some of the nicest seat stays in our opinion. MeasurementsBelow you will find the measurements of the frameset. These were done by hand so it's possible we are off by a little. We've also referenced the manufacturer's spec to fill in some details.

There are some small paint chips and surface level blemishes (see photos). All of the decals are in great shape with the exception of the 'Pro Miyata' decals at the front of the top tube(they could be replaced). The paint and chrome are vibrant and this is before we've had the time to thoroughly clean and polish the frame. If you would like any additional photos, do not hesitate to send us a message and we can take pictures for you.
