I can finally post here! Just got this back from Groody Brothers. 1986 Miyata 912. Can't wait to build it up.

very nice.
an earlier one... hard to tell my guess 1976 and a mid 80’s example.
i rode my 87 today.
the two bikes are similar but not the same, at least in the size I own.
i hot rodded my later bike with Dual pivot calipers- recently found a pair of early Campag levers with the quick release integral- the downside of the dual pivots- no QR.
i have also found the later 80’s paint darker and more intense.
the original Orange-red was more salmon color and lighter. Actually a few of the colors shifted.

Not C&V, and my only "modern" bike. But...it's orange and it has a Brooks Pro saddle, a frame pump, and low trail geometry, so I'm making it an honorary Classic bike. Your opinion will likely vary.

I picked up mine from a speculator who resold to me a month ago for $750. All in all, an incredible deal for me and an extremely unfortunate situation for Rawland. It's a great bike that can handle clearances up to 650b X 60mm (~2.3"), low trail geometry, and lots of braze ons for adventuring offroad.

That's one way giant companies destroy smaller companies. It's an epidemic.
