I finally picked up my newest project!!! An early 80's vintage Miyata track-frame complete bike. Suntour 10mm drop-outs, Suntour Sprint high flange hubs, Dia-Comp 400 brakes (front and rear), SR seat post, Sugino 165mm 46T crankset, Tange NOVA headset, Moustache bars, Mavic G 40 rear wheel (perfectly true), Mavic MA 2 front wheel (also true), cheapo BMX levers and grips, and Conti Super Sport tires 700x23c dry and cracked.

Here are just a few pics, if you want to see more check out

Dave,

I am going to make this a road ready training bike, don't think I will ever do more than about 30mi in one trip on this bike, but you never know. After getting a closer look at the bike I would like to try to get period correct equipment for this ie. same crank arms, just longer, and Dia-Comp brake levers to match the brakes.

Also, did you check out the slide show I did with more pics of the bike? As you can tell, I am proud of it!!!
