For Sale: Vintage Koga Miyata Team Sport 59.5x54

How is a 17.5 cm head-tube inconsistent with a 59.5 cm seat-tube? I once measured a bike with a 60 cm seat-tube that had a 17cm head-tube.
That said, the bike in question had a 57.5cm top-tube c-c, but it was a bike of standard proportion.

What I'm thinking is that the 54cm measurement of the top-tube isn't measured c-c: it's the measurement between the head-tube and the seat-post (the picture suggests as much). Ergo, the top-tube could measure 56cm c-c, which would make perfect sense.

I could be the clown, and I'll hand over my used left nut if it is. Lolz.

I'll pass and let you keep your genitals intact given the harm you've done to your own reputation here

measured 59.5 with two hands, here i used one and took the pic with other
a simple apology will suffice
(though doubt forth coming)

re losing a ball
had a friend who lost a ball by sickness, not ill wager, and when the rest of us were drunk we used to sing ''remember your a one ball" to the tune of "remember your a womble" to him

Looks like a 1985 model ?

I'm not sure tbh, I'm not bang on dating Koga's, I'll try to find out
Cheers again

you're right, good call, +1
thanks
the Koga site catalogs show nothing
http://www.koga.com/koga/mijn-koga/oude-brochures/#older
but upon entering in a browser,Koga Miyata Team Sport, one is shown a link to one with exactly the same frameset listed as 1985

I've been doing a bit of research and it is in the brochure but as a separate frame option at the end with the FullPro etc. You've come a week too late, or I'd be on this. BTW the brochure only shows a 58 or a 60, so I guess this is a supposed to be a 60 ? Maybe they measure centre to top.

maybe it is then, a 60cm
thanks again, sorry I missed you ;-)

Yes, typical, you wait for a year then two come along !

here we go..

Indeed.

case solved ay?
even says the decor, dark blue/metalic silver
so, would this size have been uniform, given the debate it's geometry has caused, or taylor made?
I'll hazard a guess and say uniform, as the great Dave Moulton says on his blog, when he was building frames, he used geometry that covered different anatomical proportions
