Miyata "Nothing Less" 1989

Here's the 1989 line up from Miyata! Good retro fun. Miyata stopped selling bicycles in North America back in 1993. They are Japan's oldest manufacturer of bicycles and are also known for producing high quality fire extinguishers. Miyata continues it's partnership with Koga in Europe as well. Great bikes!

I rescue every old Miyata I can get my hands on. They are simply some of the best steel frame bikes around.

What's the weight of a fully dressed bike?

[@tongalizia3175]

I have a team miyata and it’s an excellent bike. I upgraded to a campagnolo group and it hasn’t let me down…steel is real and bikes will lasts forever…..life is short ,,,,enjoy the ride….

[@65strad]

I bought and still own and ride my 1985 Miyata Seven Ten. Steel gray with gold head set. It's an excellent piece of quality machinery.

[@karlnorgaard9447]

I had a butter yellow 710. So nicely equipped...Campagnolo hubs, wolber rims, suntour....

[@Johnny_RB]

I've had my '81 Miyata 1000 touring bike since 1998. I have repainted it twice with new decals, switched to 700c wheels, 7 speed freehub, bar end Shimano shifters, infinite adjustable seat post, cartridge bottom bracket - the only thing not upgraded are the handlebars! Still love it, rides like a dream.

[@Tessou]

Best manufacturer of the 80's, no doubt.

[@ReneeNme]

Gitane was up there too, imo. I purchased ( kinda. I worked it off under apprenticeship to the lead mechanic at my LBS ) a new Gitane Professionnel in 1985 ( the same year as its release date ) and refuse to let it go. It's been a faithful old steed and is like a friend to me.

[@aorta538]

still love my 1991 Koga Miyata-Sky Carbolite mountainbike ;) Mavig wheels/Magura fork/all Shimano XT :)

[@sebastianvonnebenan5260]

awesome late-80ties-graphic... :D

[@laszlobacs9347]

I own a six ten from mid 80s. It's still in excellent shape and a pleasure to ride. Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.

[@ramonsitomadali8170]

have bought a Miyata Leaguer, a utility bike..so beautiful that all accessories are still intact

[@mrfunball5204]

I have an '84 univega specialissima, miyata built frame, rides sooooo nice

[@1uniqueislander968]

I was sold a 1981 Miyata 1000 touring bike good condition with pannier racks. Planning a 2018 Hokkaido, Japan cycle tour old school style :)

[@1uniqueislander968]

@Lex Man awesome! Wow $75 👍👍

[@1uniqueislander968]

@Lex Man my miyata had original front and rear racks. Complete bike had original parts, bottle cage and wheels.

[@pj311foo]

Picked up an ‘88 712 in peacock/black and it could pass for NOS. It’s such a beautiful bike aesthetically and mechanically. I’ve put around 100 miles on it. It’s fantastic. Now I want the red and white one 😊

[@ericgaldamez]

This is awesome!!! Many thanks for uploading this. I love my 1000lt

[@BicycleRestorationMan]

Great to see that vintage video. I regrettably sold 3 of my Miyata's but held on to my 1980 Team. I bought it from the original owner and it is still in the same condition it was when he purchased it. I have other projects going on at the moment but plan to refurbish and start riding it. Have a video about it on my channel.

[@foreverlegendary418]

😭😭😭😭😭 so Beautiful

[@davidgolfgti1]

Just fixed up my Dad's old 1024 and I'm loving every bit of it even though shifting it is a little tricky :)

[@ArnoldWatson]

This is an awesome video as I was looking for something just like it for my research on my 1988 Miyata 512...excellent!

[@corbyscall]

I own a Miyata 912 which I bought back in 1980's great bike. I still get a lot of offer from people for it. No way!

[@BruceChastain]

love this

[@IDontAShitGive]

Just bought a 89 1100a yesterday for $350 loving the bike so far :)

[@S44BBOI]

grabbed a 916 recently... seems super rare

[@bigmikebass]

This is great!

[@wade6315]

I have one for sale.

[@Realthinx]

since i was born in 1989 i will go hunting for a koga miyata randonneur ´89 until i find THE ONE

[@segundomelanioreyesespinoz2008]

I have a miyata series L year 1982 blue honda.

[@mav572]

My ridgerunner is so fucking amazing. Hardcore.

[@eccolance]

Miyata still exists. They just stopped exportation outside of japan under the name Miyata, and sold the rights to the name outside of japan to Koga. For their high end bikes sold out of japan they are called Merida.

[@Miki-ti3uo]

Gotta find a Miyata Full pro in my size.

[@yomommastupid]

2006 Koga Miyata E-Flyer

[@derekdavis6508]

I had a green quick cross, I'm looking at a triple cross, isn't it the highest end steel version, sport was the middle.

[@rogerescudejr9000]

I bought a FLAWLESS Miyata 10 speed from the local thrift store here in New Orleans for 30.00 yesterday. I can definitely tell it was made in the 80s with it’s all metal pedals with yellow reflectors on the inside and the style of brakes that’s on it. Really Primitive lookin Shimano brakes lol. ... but from EVERYTHING I have googled, I can’t find this EXACT ten speed. The only other Miyata sticker on the bike is one that says “Sport 10” on top frame bar in front on each side by upper neck.By the looks of all of these comments looks like hardly anyone has been on here in a really long time. Whoever looks on here After I posted this and you have any ideas what I have let me know please. Thanks

[@kentharveyreyes7362]

Does anyone know the Year of Release/Manufacture of a Miyata Trail Runner MTB 1100? Thanks!

[@1stPlaceDirector]

Are you telling me that I can buy a bike similar to the famous Miyata 1000 touring bike from Merida today? Where can I buy them in the USA? Any dealers?

[@eccolance]

Merida bikes are only built for competitive cycling. The myiata steel bikes, like the 1000 are only available in japan and currently equiped campagnolo groups.

[@1stPlaceDirector]

Is the video available in a higher resolution? It was cool watching the old style graphics. I have a 1989 Miyata 1000. Don't you hate it when a company offers a 'lifetime' guarantee and then quickly goes out of business, just before any claims come in? The frames were excellent, so they probably would have had no problems anyway. I think Miyata failed because their racing teams did not do race sponsorship correctly, by not having any top racers racing their bikes to prove them in the field

[@obbeudding5887]

Is this the same as Koga Miyata from Heerenveen Holland

[@ariefmafa3107]

How about miyata alfrex carbon series....

[@ovsjahschweinefresser5293]

and I have miyata 750 sr

[@BoostedAE86]

[@bennettturk3206]

[@dadaustin4570]

Less intro and more video. Lol

[@stephenimsong3462]

[@allisonblaine1109]
