For Sale: Koga Miyata Gents Lux S

Koga Miyata Gents Lux S

I started to collect for the Eroica, but now I have the Merckx I've got to have a clear out. Second up is a Koga Miyata Gents Lux S made from Miyata Champion tubing. I think this comes in just below the Pro range level I think that its about 1980/81. Picked it up in Holland when I bought a carbon 29er from a shop in Huizen/Blaricum and said I was looking for an Eroica bike. It didn't have wheels, saddle or toeclips, which I've sourced to complete the bike.
Its in a fantastic orange with some minor scratches but is really presentable and doesn't require any particular attention. The tyres are OK and it rides very well. Taken it to France a couple of times and it is a great handling bike. As good as the Merckx, but the great God didn't ride one of these when I was a kid in short pants so its this that has to go unfortunately.

Here's the spec:

• Seat tube 57cm c/c
  
• Top tube 55cm c/c
  
• Shimano Dura Ace front, rear and gear levers, 10speed
  
• Shimano Dura Ace Ex double chainset with the low slung pedals so it gives an extra 1cm on the leg length. Very large and smooth pedals
  
• Shimano Dura Ace brakes and levers with good rubbers
  
• SR Royal bars
  
• SR Royal 11.5cm stem
  
• Brooks Pro saddle. Unmarked and but not quite in keeping so I'll knock £50 off if you don't want it!
  
• Shimano hubs with Mavic MA2 rims. Sound and smooth
  
  

A really special looking bike with interesting and great condition equipment.
I'm in Milton Keynes and you're welcome to come and look. Can bring to London as I'm about a couple of days a week otherwise post at cost.
Looking for £350. PM and cash please.

Off to ebay tomorrow. Great colour, kit and saddle! No offers?

Hello, Is this still for sale?

Yes its still here. Changed saddle but could put Brooks back on if you like. Didn't get to ebay but will soon.

Huizen of all places...I was born there! Good luck with the sale :)

Thanks, it is lovely but now I have this it has to go I'm afraid.

would you be interested to make an exchange?

Possibly but was really trying to reduce the number of things I've got hanging around. What are you offering?
