My 2.5 year update on the 86 Miyata 710. I’ve loved it to death. Lightweight and fast. Thousands of miles later. Still fat though. lol

I’ve ridden this bike more than any other I’ve owned, which is saying something. It has very narrow tires on it, like 25c I think, but it hasn’t stopped me from taking it on dirt trails for dozens of miles. I moved to a much hillier area, so I’m thinking about replacing the cranks with something I can stick a smaller first chainring on. Ideally I’d also like flat bars, 1x, and a thumb shifter, but I’m slow to change. Also I’m not quite sure how to do it, while keeping these thin tires. I’m not sure I can even fit much more in there. It’s pretty narrow.
