A touring bike also has longer chain stay's.

Score ! That's a great bike !

Miyata bikes are great bikes and like a lot of Japanese made bikes they are very underrated making them great budget friendly build . The fact that it's a touring bikes makes it it better with everyone turning them to "gravel bikes" this is definitely a great score

@yardsalecycles totally agree. I love the old Japanese bikes and the touring models are especially outstanding!

I don't think Miyatas are underrated as far as vintage touring bikes go.

Those are hard to find and nearly impossible for an XL. I ended up converting a 27” schwinn to 700c with long reach brakes to get good tire clearance for the touring bike I built. Changed about everything else too.

[@stockton350]

That's clever. What kind of Schwinn did you go with?
