It's a positive thing. To "sleep on" means to like ignore, or not be aware of their presence, since one is sleeping.

Crank is Record with Super Record rings
Calipers are Super Record but not sure.

Pedals it would depend on spindle I think, bottom bracket as well, but can’t see it well enough.

Brake Levers and seatpost are likely Super Record but cannot see whether slotted.

Campy repurposed “Record” items only both groups, then deviated in derailleurs, chainrings, titanium/alloy spindles, brakes (I think), seat post, headset?

Crank arms, shifters, hubs I THINK we’re just considered “Record”.

Someone better versed than me can clean that up.

Those are some pretty good verses, though. Thanks for filling in.

Solid bikes those late 80s high end miyatas. my personal, unsolicited opinion, is that the high water mark in terms of Miayata build quality was the early 80s - those Pro and Team bikes were gorge. by the mid to late 80s Miyata started cutting corners to keep costs down with the massive Yen depreciation.

Do you know the years of the Pro Miyatas? I picked up one from a forumite that while quite rusted (sat outside; photos revealed all so no surprises). Mine has the SunTour Symmetric (?) top of DT shifters, cables run old-school over the BB through cable housing, no ST WB bosses, no HT pump peg, horizontal dropouts and squeezed areo-like fork and seatstay blades. The ride? Stiff, quick, solid, no surprises at all! (Is there better? I've never ridden it.) Haven't done a killer downhill yet but the bike just gets more secure the faster I go.

I'm guessing '84, 85. The bladed tubes suggest to me later but the shifter, cable runs, WB bosses and horizontal dropouts all say earlier. The tubing? Miyata DB Cr-Mo. What;s that? (Besides feeling simply super and being very hard to cold set.0

Repeating: if the ride is anything like my 84 and 85 and it is your size this will 99% likely be your best riding bike ever

83 pro seems like best match ... https://www.ragandbone.ca/PDFs/Miyat...logue%2083.pdf
82 possible https://www.ragandbone.ca/PDFs/Miyat...logue%2083.pdf

81 was AX
84 did not have the symmetric shifters

Thanks! I'm now virtually certain mine's an '83. Everything I have on hand matches up.
