This Miyata is about a 1980 model. I can't say exactly, because most of my brochures are in storage, but I assembled lots of Miyata bicycles right around 1980 or '81, at a time when this blue was the "KOGA-MIYATA" pro team color (with gold accents added). A few years later, all of the colors had changed.
