Need help to ID year/model of this Miyata
Seller states that it is a 1987 Miyata 610. The Miyata catalog I found only listed a 615 in '87 and I can't visually match any pictures. Any Miyata experts out there? The bike is located in Sweden if that matters.
Thanks!
Thanks!

It's hard to read that top tube decal, but it certainly looks like it says "Six Ten."

I was prepared to look through the catalogs on the vintage Miyata site until I read that it was in Sweden. Many manufacturers would make a bike specifically for a particular region of the world. Different colors, decals, components. Those decals are unlike any Miyata ones I've seen. But the components suggest earlier then '87 to me. I'm unfamiliar with the history of the Koga involvement with Miyata, but this may be a Koga-Miyata. It looks like a very nice bike none-the-less. And the 610 sport/tourer is still on the top of my "want" list.
