That is a great score looks to be in really nice shape although that could just be all the work you did.  I picked up a Miyata 912 about a year ago at a garage sale and I have really enjoyed fixing it up and riding it.

Enjoy your Miyata

Check out what I picked up at the police auction a couple of weeks
ago. A 1983 Miyata Twelve Hundred!!! SCORE!!!! It was the only
thing at the auction worth bidding on and I made sure to take it
home. I think that I saved it from some hipster who would have turned
it into a fixie.

Things I had to replace:
 
-- Saddle
-- Cables
-- Bar Wrap
-- Rear Tire
-- Handlebars (old ones are fine but 38cm is too narrow for me)
 
Up next...I just picked up a 1977 Fuji S10-S that is in great shape.
