Description
This is a great Koga Miyata Road Speed-L from 1979, a classic sports-machine.
In this time, the Koga team was very successful and even won the UCI team worldcup in 1981. So one of the company's slogans was "From the factory to the starting line!"
The frame was built by Miyata, a company which has been in the bicycle business since 1890 and employed some of the best frame builders. But not only the employees were special at Miyata. A hallmark of all their bikes was the tubing of tremendous quality, first delivered by Tange. The result is stunning. So proud was Koga Miyata of their work, that they soon granted a life long guarantee on the frames.
In our case the frame has been soldered from strong Tange Hi-Manga double butted tubing.
On top of technical side there is beauty. Clean lugs and classic lines.
The bike has a racing geometry with ever so slightly more relaxed angles then a criterium bike and is equipped with Shimano 600 parts - Utterly reliable and a feast for your eyes.
If you are looking for a great performing classic racing bike for weekend rides or classic cycling events, then why not this Koga Miyata in great and pretty much original condition?
It has been thoroughly checked and is ready to take you to new horizons.
