I purchased this bike today on Facebook marketplace I’m not very knowledgeable on vintage bicycles but I’m quite excited because I’m just getting into it. This is my first proper Road bike. I paid $60 CAD for it. So far from my research, this is what I know about the bicycle. It’s a Miyata 210 the guy I bought it from said he bought it from a used bike shop a couple years ago and it’s been sitting in his garage for over one year unused so I assume it just needs a tuneup? I pumped air into the tires and there’s no issue. The brakes are in good shape front and back obviously needed tuneup but still respond very well. The only issue when I test rode the bike was that there is a clicking sound happening every time I pedal could someone inform me why that’s happening please? also from my research I’m aware that it’s a early 80s model I believe between 1981 to 1986 but I am not sure. Is anyone able to tell me what year it’s from or how to identify on the bike? What year it’s from thank you very much.:)
