Miyata TMR 2000?
Wondering if anyone can identify what model I am looking at here? Sticker on top tube says TMR2000? does not seem to be such a bike? Team R2000?

Pedal to the medal
I've never seen a TMR 2000 model. It's definitely higher end with miyata team lugs, 600 group and triple butted tubing. Might be a Euro or Japanese only model that made it's why on this side of the pond. The serial number should tell you the year of manufacture, which I'm guessing is mid to late 80's

This would appear to be an Asian market model. Most European market countries, with the notably exception of the Scandinavian market, received Koga-Miyata branded bicycles. The combination of STB tubing and Shimano New 600EX SIS makes it the equivalent of a 1986-1987 USA market Miyata 912. The aero brake lever hoods and clipless pedals are later additions, along with the obvious tri-bars. The saddle appears to be some aftermarket model, while the post looks like it may be a triathlon specific model.
