Question for Miyata 1000 owners
Hey
I've been looking to buy a miyata 1000 to replace the old one that I unforunately had to sell. Have a really promising lead today, got sent some pictures but the frame seems a bit off.
My question is, you know that loop thing on the right chainstay, is it removable? I'm looking at the pictures for a 1991? Miyata 1000LT and the loop thing seems to be missing. The bike seems to be in pretty minty condition.
I've attached pictures.
Thanks

on my mid-80s One Thousand the chainstay protector is welded / brazed on.
I supposed if a person preferred tape to the loop they could snip it off with side cutters - and a kung-fu grip!
does your second pic show a couple of dots on the the chainstay? optical-delusion?
hard to see but mine is there...

It does look like 2 holes and being snapped off. I just find that very odd.

That looks to be a 1989- and built pretty cool.
It looks like it's been broken/cut off. Like everyone has said- it's not much of a big deal- it gets beat up- but 99% of bikes out there don't have any sort of stay protector.

The 89 has indexed shifters with a 7 speed hyperglide freehub. It is my only indexed shifting bike and it it very nice. I wouldn’t worry about the hoop or lack of. It actually is a bit of a pain with the biopace 28t front small chainring when putting on a new chain if the chain is a bit long. That oval ring causes some bouncing of a loose chain. I changed out my biopace 28 for a round 24t, and can get 5 of the rear sprocket gears without the chain bouncing off the hoop.
