wow, full dura ace and looking very good... bargain, or rather, a steal for the long-legged rider

Wow, exactly what I've been looking for, if only I was a little bit taller :(

insanely good price!

must... resist...

Björn - does the sticker on the frame say 61 as well? I'm asking because I have just about the same frameset, it says 60, thought they didn't do odd numbers at Koga

Well, I measured and thought it was 60 as well. Then I checked out the brochure and it says they had a 54, 56, 58 and 61cm version.

First 2 are for the Pro-Luxe and Pro-Racer, the latter is Gents Luxe-S.
I guess it depends on what you see as top, since the tubetop is sort of shaped like a shallow 'U', looking from the side.

thnx! will have to start collecting the brochures...

you are breaking me.
you are breaking me.
you are crushing me.

This is such a beautiful bike.
I can afford to buy it now but I cant afford the courier this month as well.
I would love to have it. But I cant conclude a transaction all at once.

wow like everyone else said I wish I was taller, beautiful and great price!

Another gorgeous bike from you Björn, and such a good price!

Not sure if I got back to you but the Mixte turned out gorgeous. Never seen such a complicated thing so well packed. We put it all together with ease and now it's waiting in the office waiting to be delivered to the birthday girl.

Thanks again.

(i.e. if this was eBay I would say “HIGHLY RECOMMENDED A++++” ;)

Beautifully photographed and prepared.

where abouts in nl are you based?
cheers

Dibs, PM on its way

Thanks for all the interest and nice words people!

• Charlie, I send you a PM, so bike is provisionally sold.
  
• Tarboy, if above falls through we may be able to arrange something.
  
• Lui, glad to hear! I was a bit afraid it would get damaged with all those mudguards etc, so took the time to pack it well. Give her my birthday greetings!
  
• Webstar, you've asked me before, I'm about 1.5 hours away from you. ;) Somewhat near Rotterdam.
  

that is lush, congrats to the buyer, a real beauty

Remember to ask for payment sent as gift! ;)

Haha, I actually think I forgot; that's what happends when making deals all hung-over.

you wouldn't have a spare one? :P
congratulations, charlie.

In case you want a Koga Miyata in that size: I have a frameset like this one, but a Roadspeed, size 60. Here's some pics (can't send you a pm sorry to semi-hijack this thread)

can't send you a pm either, but for how would you sell it? i hope this doesn't go against the rules. i'm gonna put my email on my profile.
