The Koga / Koga Miyata thread

My miyata :)

bought from the lovely peter v on here.

sorry for the horrible pic... she's a beaut really.

Oh, and stem is a lot lower since then ;)

Still have to get another saddle (looking for aspecialized toupe s-works in white).
New weels, new handlebartape, new seatpost. :)
It's just fast as hell. :D ;)

Nice one!

That's ace!

My Koga fixie.

nice one, looking good! Is that the original chainset with the big ring taken off?

Yes it is, I placed the inner ring on the outer position and put a shotter bootom bracket in to get a decent chainline.

Dura Ace Equipped Pro (currently for sale):

Check out the top and down tubes, it has external spiralling on the seat tube and wishbone seat stays, lovely! Not to mention the DA groupset.

A nice russian site with all the koga catalogues from 1976-2009

Nice, but all catalogues or on Koga's own site.

Now that I've got a Pompino to commute on, my Koga Miyata has been returned to a more natural condition.

Not a bad looker now, in my opinion. Still a great ride.

Just got this lovely Koga from Friesland, from a extremely nice Koga Miyata enthusiasts. (Thanks Pieter!!)

I got an ivory gents racer off VKM (before he 'left') a couple of months ago. Spent fair few hours tarting it up - will try and get some photos to post this week.
