Looking for this? Unknown Miyata
Currently up for auction on Shopgoodwill. Even comes with a set of high top bike shoes.
Curious, does anyone recognize this model of Miyata, didn't know they made aluminum framed road bikes.
Thanks all.

Bikes: Wow, where to start? A collection of 1980's and early 90's road, touring, and MTBs from the likes of Trek, Schwinn, Cannondale, Fuji, Miyata, Univega, Panasonic, and GT. It has gotten rather out of control.

618a
I had a teal 618a the I picked up for a song. It was a pretty nimble rider. Sold it to a budding triathlete.

The subject bicycle is a 1991 or 1992 Miyata Seven 14. The frame is bonded aluminum main tubes with CrMo stays and forks.

Thanks all, interesting bike mix of aluminum and CrMo and bonding. It's in nice shape hope it goes to someone who will enjoy it..
I had my one FELT aluminum road bike, very light, very fast and a killer on bad chip seal. Riding Summit to Surf on the down leg to Hood River there was a long long chip seal patch of roadway, only time I've ever had feet hurting with every pedal stroke.
Back to steel now.
