Isaac,
I have a 62cm Myata 610. Mechanically and structurally the bike is in
excellent condition. The frame has some over painting on the toptube
and front fork which are cosmetic concerns. This frame and fork are
are superb. The tires are 27x1/14 (new Kendra) and the rims are made
in Japan in
Bars and stem are sold. The bottom bracket is still available.

Well, the 78-degree vs 72-degree ST changes the mechanics of your
pedal stroke quite a bit. Now (on the Hillborne), relative to your hip
joint, your knees and feet are farther forward, and it may simply be
harder to ramp up to the high RPMs in that position. I'm no expert on
