This is my Trek, I’ve been enjoying the 24” size WAY more than the 22.5” models I used to ride.
My Miyata I picked up when I was still buying 22.5” or 56/57 cm frames. It’s always felt a touch small, and I’ve been trying different stems.
I think I might have a winner. It’s feels about right, and it doesn’t look too out of place. I’m still hunting for a 60cm frame, but ‘till I find one, I think I have a usable set up.
And it’s been cleaned a LOT before I posted. Before I had used it in the snow (earlier in this thread) I had hosed down the whole thing with WD40 to keep it safe from any moisture or salt. It did work, but left a bit of a sticky film behind. It’s all cleaned of now though, and looking sharp.
This seems about right, feels like home.
Themis is the fourth stem I’ve tried on this bike, I may have a winner...
A side by side.
The trouble I’ve been having with stems is they are either normal dimension, or SUPER tall. I just need a little taller than usual. A 0* bend in a 90mm or 100mm would be perfect, but the Nitto 0* bend only comes in 120mm and that’s just too long.
This one is a little taller than I want, even at the lowest setting, but it feels about right while riding around. Further testing is in order.

Sorry for sinning, non-drive side.

Goodbye.
Not sure where to post this, but today I said farewell to my 1982 Miyata 1000.
I had a lot of ambitions for it and designed it to my liking, but it sat in my room for two years without being ridden much. I will miss it, but it seemed like it was going to a good home where it will be used. I did not sell it cheaply- thanks to this pandemic, I was able to get a premium return on it.
You will be missed.

Miyata.. now your talking. Real deal.. excellent steel.. possibly the best steel ever mass produced.
210 pic below.. 25" frame.. triple butted w Magna Lite fork.. an extra in my stable waiting for a new home. 36/40 hole set mounted w 7 front gears.
Thread starter pics BTW.. excellent. Some of the best on the net forums for bike pics.
NOTE: the front chainrings.. 46-36-26 I believe via memory. Never could understand a 52 ring on a touring model.. of what use w a loaded bike... 36 is excellent for a wind gearing.

I’m sticking a bit of a burlier rear wheel on mine to prepare it for tougher touring and with the 105 hub I can go 8-11speed. Originally, i was thinking of going 2x10 but I’m unsure.
Has anyone else built up a 1000 with a 2x10?

Working on one just like it. Locking forward to getting it on the road. I’d be interested if you are going to touch up the frame and what you might be using.
Good luck with it!

Anyone have a 1979 or 1980 Miyata 1000 that can post a close up of the tubing decal? I know it is Tange Champion but the 1980 catalog's picture is not detailed enough. I need to buy one if they are reproduced.
Thanks
Thanks

Hi, new to the forum and found this great thread. Nice to see so many Miyata 1000 in one place. Mine is stock except for sadle, i think the pedals and tires. The radials sadly gave up on me after these pictures were taken.
Have done some touring with the Bike and it’s stellar! Greetings from Sweden

Nice bike! And those Karrimor panniers! I've had a pair of those for 40 years, and still use them for grocery shopping. Where did you get them I might like a new pair.

Yeah the canti post placement is a diffrent from the bikes i’ve seen. It moves the cantis away from the panniers but makes the brake cable routing a bit more ugly imo.
Water bottles are only for show, it gives a noticeable flavor of thirty year old plastic to the water...

Hi, serialnumber starts with a S so i guess it makes it to a 1990. The former owner bought it from his LBS new in Sweden 1993. My brother has a miyata 912 that looks almost the same so i think there is some european stuff going on with the layout. If someone is offended by a 912 in the 1000 thread i will immediately delete it!

I got them from a nice neighbour who knew i was in to bike touring. She bought the panniers in the early nineties for a tour around Skåne in southern sweden and didn’t use them after that so the Karrimore’s are in a nice condition.
