Hello

I have been offered a Koga Myiata frame built with Hardlite FM-2 ChroMo tubing. The frame is apparantly from 1982-83.

I cannot see the frame in real life, so my question is if anybody know the quality of this frameset / tubing?

Thanks for sharing.

It´s pretty good, one step below their top tubing. You can look at the old brochures on the Koga site, if you know the name/colour of the bike it´s very usefull. Here is the 1983 one: http://www.koga.com/koga/linkservid/6F598CC1-3FFA-4C4C-81CC87233EC4EF0E/showMeta/0/

Thanks for the interesting and very usefull link!

I am pretty sure the frame in question was a "Roadwinner" model bike back then (frame color and tubing match, decals also it seems).

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
