I'm tempted by the black one, big time. That was the one we stocked
at the Miyata shop. It's borderline too large, and gets worse if I
put fatter tires on it, but for an Albatross bike..it would be
epic.

Have never seen one of these in person. At least not that I
remember. But the first one - wow! Listed as 32s and there is tons
of room under that fork crown.
Bikes like that really interest me. Then if the pull gets too great,
will go out for a ride on my Hillborne. Seems to clear the bike lu
Somebody here should bid on this one:

not a Miyata but I just picked up a 1991 green/Ivory Bridgestone RB-1
off Craigslist. Paint looks pretty good too.
I'm excited! I read somewhere that this year and model was Grants
favorite.
Woohoo!

I count seven 1000s on the 'bay at this moment - frame-sets and full

I bought a Miyata 1000 frameset in 1983, and still have it. It's been
built up many different ways over the years, from loaded tourer to
grocery getter to fixie. I rode my first 100 miler on that bike, rode
it on fast training rides, towed my kids in a Burley trailer, and did

Agreed. The Miyata 1000 is near the top of my list of the bikes I
would snap up if I found one that fit.
There is a Miyata 1000 on the Cyclofiend page that I always thought
was one of the nicest looking bikes around. Repainted a nice orange
color. Maybe better with some spoked wheels, but still v
I still regret not buying the 1988 Miyata 1000. That bike was
