Dollars to donuts 700c, because of the 80s components, tires, and anodized rim finish. That said, they are near the top of the slots for 47-57mm brakes, so no issue to get the extra 4mm brake reach you need for 622s if I'm wrong.

But yeah, $20 says those are 700c/622mm.

'85 Miyata 710

wow, nice witcomb!

and thanks christian, looks like i'm probably in for 700c.

i've got a plan coming together here.

Looks like 1983 or '84. Definitely a crossover period for 27 to 700c. Even with the ad arguing against, I'll go for 27 on this one.

'84 still had silver rims....

I stand corrected, '85 it is. :beer: Where's the spec sheet in those catalogs? None of this matters as that frame and the brakes can handle either wheel size. ;)

Well it looks like I'm copying now but I said "700c!" to myself when I saw the pic :hello:

That white Pista was my first pay check from WheelWorks when I started in '85.

You definitely had your priorities in the right order. :banana:

[cachagua]

You worked at Wheelworks in '85? I worked at Wheelworks in '85!

(Actually more in '83 and '84, I left New England in April '85.)

We talkin' about the same one? Belmont?
