I have been debating buying a NOS Miyata 1000 for 650...thoughts? 53CM.
By the time Miyata offered the 916, they'd bolstered the frame internally. I don't see the frames themselves being heavy but it depends on the comparison(s).
As far as NOS 1000 for 650 ? You state your size and of the frame, I'll save the schpiel but would encourage you to consider it. The year might influence the decission of some individuals, not mine. All years had their virtues to some extant or another. as for misvirtues... I don't think so. I see no downside to a 1000 NOS frame. Look at what e-bay's listing for used LeMond frames & others.
