I worked in shops that sold Miyata in Toronto during this era. First for Kirk Douglas at Cyclist Corner, and also for Leo at Local Motion, and Ian James at the Bicycle Spokesman. I sold at lot of these bikes! Brings back great memories. I remember the Aero Miyata hanging at CyclistCorner2, boy, I wanted one of those!
Thank you so much! I love looking at the catalogs, as I just purchased a 1991 914SE. Still waiting to receive the bike, so looking at pictures is all I can do for now. THANK YOU!
Thanks so much for providing these pages. I purchased a Miyata Triplecross that someone outfitted for touring. Could not find much on the web other than this site.
WOW, thanks for going to the trouble to scan these and put them online. I bought a fully stock '88 Team Miyata as a racy way to taste the local variety of smog and I learned nearly every but the taste from your generousity.
Thanks for posting these catalogues. I have a 1991 or 92 RidgeRunner carbon frame MTB. I was living in Japan when I bought it and the models are somewhat different from what they shipped to the US.
It weighs only about 11 kg and has the carbon top tube, down tube and seat tube. The fork is cro-molly and the chain stays and seat stays are aluminum.
It has Suntour XC Expert brakes and drive train.
It's a very comfortable bike to ride and the carbon frame has held up well.
Hi gyenge aron: Miyata Factory is only one and is located in Japan(Chigasaki) they sell frames and parts to Netherland and they assamble them. Regards, Hernan P.Burgos(NANOBURGOS)
I purchased a 1992-93 Miyata Duplicross Tandem this past summer. Wow, what a bike! This website has been great in discovering its history. Have also learned from your catalog postings what has been modified and changed. Have taken it back to original in several parts since. Thanks! Very cool!
Thanks for taking the time to put this information out. It allowed me to find out that I have a 1982 1000 Touring Frame and what the original concept was supposed to look like.
I bought a 1983 Miyata Mod.3-10 on that year and I have it never use it, the bike is all original w/ bunch of decals and original tires, I would like to know the value today, anybody can help The frame is made of Molybendum, 20 speeds.
Great info on these great bikes. I am trying to find the original tires that came with my 1989 Miyata 1000. I've scoured the net without any success so if anyone has info on this, please let me know. The tires are: Miyata (Panaracer) Super Touring Nylon Belted, 700x32c SSW
I am restoring a Miyata 1000 (1983) and a Miyata 912 (1981). Can anyone direct me to a supply of frame decals for these old vintage Miyatas? Thanks, Hernan, for your help.

I am trying to replace a tire for my Miyata; it's an odd size: 26 7/8 and all I can find is 27". Does anyone have a suggestion? Bob
