Miyata 210 (1985)
Just picked up a Miyata 210 at the thrift shop ($15) looks pretty original and I was looking for a list of the original parts.Found this url .... (that I am told I not allowed to post) but of course the info that I want is mostly cut off. Does anyone have a list or know what the components were on this bike in 1985?
thanks
thanks

Yes that is the one I have. I see you have updated it a little I had mine out for a quick 20K ride yesterday and everything seems to be working fine. thanks for the info re what was on it I will check but I think it is pretty much original. the only upgrade on it seems to be that there were clipless peddles on it.

thanks again

That looks like a delightful bike, but then I am biased in favor of road sport touring frames.

Just curious any reason for looking for the parts list? When a bike has a 30 year life span stuff does get changed out. while its nice to have the original stuff personally I don't think it really matters, I am more interested in whether it works and if the bike fits and is comfortable for me, I often add a taller stem (technomic) and wider bars and Tektro aero brake levers just because it makes the bike more comfortable for me. For a mass produced entry to mid level bike especially I wouldn't sweat original pars, I am more interested in fit and making sure its serviced and tuned up. I just got a Miyata 112 and have it set up as my trainer bike but in the spring I will overhaul it and probably sell it on, since I don't plan on keeping it I will use all the current parts, most of which I think are original to the bike -except the saddle, I will keep those parts not so much to be strictly stock but because I am cheap 
Have fun with your 210!

Cheap is a good reason
but also if they are original parts I think it would give me an idea of how much use the bike had???
I once went to a vintage car show and remember listening to a critique of a car as the rubber seal around the trunk wasn't original ! Don't think that had anything to do with cheap but perhaps more being inflexible
I lean to the cheap side and just like to ride

OTOH I go inexpensive on the tubes, cables and housing the chain - SRAM makes a fine 8 speed chain that I find for $10 and it does a fine job on 10 to 18 speed bikes. YMMV

Great platform!
I'm enjoying this ode to the lowly 210. There was the 610 and the 1000. I was never lucky enough to find one of those. I've had my (sandstone) '85 Two Ten for I think 15 years now. It came to me all original, minus the factory rear rack. I hope yours was included! If yours was stock, it will have downtube shifters, as opposed to the barends as in raverson photos. That's a nice upgrade, in my opinion. I've commuted, toured, used for long day rides in the mountains of western NC. It's a great platform for changing around, experiments, and general futzing. I predict yours will give you many happy miles if it's a good fit. Great frame, and the 40 spoke wheels are easy to keep true! FWIW, 700c conversion is easy-peasy on this bike. Original diacompe cantis easily adjust. Enjoy it!

As I mentioned I was out for a ride on it the other day everything seems fine. I will repack bottom bracket and hubs over the winter.
Mine did not have the rear rack. Is that one in your picture original?
I look forward to warmer weather and more rides.

thanks for warning. I don't think I am that much a purist. I will see what I have in the shed, I think there is aan old aluminum one there.. I will try to get some pictures up as soon as I can
