Here’s a working link (at least it was just now) to all the Miyata catalogs:

Seems like the 712 was typically the prior year’s 912 with slightly less fancy components.
My daughter’s 1985 312 is as nice a frame as my 1979 912. The original Miyata paint holds up incredibly well. Here’s a gratuitous shot of the ‘79, bought new, with original paint (helps that gloss black is easy to touch up) even after several trips across the Atlantic and four major build iterations. This is the third version a few years ago, since the fourth looks quite different with all of Gugie’s mods.
