I just bought an '88 Miyata 712 frame and fork, which should be arriving later this week. As I assemble parts, the big question left is whether that vintage of Miyata would have used an ISO/26.4 or JIS/27.0 crown race. Obviously, I can throw a caliper on it when it arrives, but I'm curious if anyone knows offhand.
TIA
Yes original spec is JIS format 27.0/ 30.0, a very standard
thing. Nice ones start at $20.
That said, yes measure it as the system is designed such
that to use a more expensive (i.e. Campagnolo) headset one
cuts to the 26.4/ 30.2 format and someone may have done that.
