I’ve owned many, and thought they were all wonderful.
I had a low end 210 mixte and was very impressed with the overall quality and level of equipment it came with.
The miyata 912 that I own is triple butted and splined. I think it’s very stiff, but in a good way. It doesn’t feel noodly to me. Very nice all around.
The ridge runner that I have is a great early mountain bike. I put wide slicks on it and it’s a great bike to commute on.
