Frame looks like a gas-pipey 70s number from a big brand like Falcon - although they had rings in the badge, it was below the bird, and that looks like a windmill on yours .
the lugs, fork, bb and dropout style were common on low end hearth- assembled frames.
Wheels look nice, bhc? Campag?
Bars too - swoopy!
I dont think the nice parts are original, but there are plenty of nice frames to rebuild

the Tange stamped crown & biconical seat stays certainly suggest a Nippon origin
the only marque where these features would fit in with the windmill symbol is Koga Miyata
the "windmill" outline could also be a humanoid cartoon figure - note the "legs" / "feet"
dropouts with offset eyelet could be either Tange or Maeda
checked serial against Miyata and the initial letter M would indicate a cycle of 1984 which is much too late for the subject machine
someone with greater knowledge will be along shortly no doubt...

M prefix so Miki built, possibly a Falcon

if a MIKI product the second serial character indicates it was produced in a year ending in 9
appears slightly late for 1969 and clearly too early for 1979, with 1969 far more likely...
have never seen a MIKI product sold under its own name in me land; makes one think that all exported produce from the firm represents contract work
