Au Contraire,
The Technical Spec sheet in every catalog shows the weights of all the Miyata's. Model for model with most other brands they were NOT heavy.
1000LT Miyata's offered the splined triple butted tubing that is held in high regard to this day, they were a bit lighter than the early 1000's which used double butted tubing. Some of the best bikes Japan ever built in my opinion.
Miyata racing bikes were as light as any from that era.
