BoTM Bike of The Month February 2025 "lugged special", now taking entries

Bike of The Month
Great theme for this month!

Here’s mine : @Guigui58 1985 Miyata Ridge Runner SE.

The Ridge Runner SE shares the same triple-butted, lugged frame as the standard Ridge Runner. However, it came equipped with a full Deore XT groupset and extra braze-ons, including mounting points for a third bottle cage under the downtube and mid-fork mounting points (at least in North America).

I love this bike; I’ve been using it as my daily commuter for the past year! I’m trying to keep it as original as possible. Unfortunately, some parts were beyond salvaging, such as the rear XT derailleur with the infamous Super Plate. I did my best to replace them with high-end, period-correct (ish) parts.

No build thread, unfortunately.
