These 2 Miyatas (Miyati?) popped up on Craigslist today.

This one doesn't mention size, but it looks kind of small:

I've been pleased with a shop of recycled cycles and framesets in St. Louis.

They are listing this under "Touring"

It's perfect! except one thing that'll bug me...any good touring bike is gonna have Cantilever brakes. That would build up to be one freakin' sweet road bike though!

When I mentioned the Jamis Aurora, this bike is available as a fully built-up tourer for less than a grand. It's spec'd witrh a Reynolds 520 frame, Tektro Canti brakes both front and rear and Shimano Tiagra/Deore STI and Tektro inline levers. I checked and found it to be reviewed as the best buy for a touring bike. Go to Jamis' website
