My last ride on Wednesday was a shake down for a 1980 Miyata Gran Touring I finished building up a couple months ago but had only taken on little 1-2 mile jaunts to check things. All went well for the whole ride, about 37 miles, except the top race of the headset kept loosening up by a half turn. Guess I didn't get the pre-loading right when I tightened the lock nut down. I just kept hand tightening it til I got home. Have to say it's a smooth, sprightly ride considering it's a touring frame. Tracks beautifully and no hands riding is a cinch. I'm really digging the Japanese sports touring style!
