Just picked up a Miyata 310 frame & fork this morning
It is 1982/1983/1984 vintage based on the frame (double butted Cr-Mo) and the forks (hi-ten steel). The 1981 had plain guage Cr-Mo tubing; while the 1985 and 1986 models had manganese-steel forks. (note Reynolds 531 is a manganese-steel).

I am not sure how this project will playout. The big depending factor is scoring some brifters.
