She's a Miyata 1000LT in great condition that's just a hair too big for me and sometimes doesn't love shifting exactly when I ask her to. I love Girl Bike more than anything. (Am taking suggestions on headlights that match the vibe better tho).

How tall are you and how are you fitting yourself to the bike?
This looks like a 21″/54cm frame which is on the smaller end of things, suitable for riders about 5’3 to maybe 5’10 +/- depending on a few things.
Beyond that. The 1000LT is one of the best touring bikes ever made. I have two that I’ve fully restored. Excellent bikes.
It’s more than a smidge to small. You need a smaller bike. I’m guessing a 50 or 48. I know you love your bike but you need a different one.
Love it ❤️
I love the continental ride tour tires. Maybe because they’re €14 locally. Pretty bomb proof. I like this era of steel frames
She the love of mine too 🥺
Looks way less maintenance than an actual relationship. 10/10 would try.
What derailleur are you running? Cage and colour scheme seem off for the 600 that matches those brakes. Man, I love the look of the tricolor 600 though.

One day I will get around to posting my 1988 Miyata 1000 build
