Koga-miyata Skyrunner Carbolite

Personally, I think it's rather expensive, although it looks in very good condition.
Frame looks similar (but not the same as) Giant Cadex, Liyang Carbon, Alan, Al Carter? All have similar carbon tube frames, unless I'm mistaken?
Nice looking bike though.

Re:
Yeah I did think the money side was a bit rich
The frames, I agree. I think specialized used the same type and British Eagle did like this one

I might put in a cheeky offer on the Koga, the worse they can say is no.

These have no relation to the Liyang or Alan. Its a proprietary design and build and is priced about right.

As you can see, no two of the above are alike in anyway except the physical build of carbon tubing bonded together. Theres two variations of the Alan.
I'd still not kick any of those out of bed though.

Have another one. Sakae Litage carbon
Re:
Certainly on the money Mark. No two were identical, Except perhaps the Al-Carter, But i bet it would be surprising to find out who was making what for whom.
I would certainly be interested.
Some of this early Carbon/aluminum can be bought for Peanuts too, especially if it doesnt have THE cool brand name attached.

Re:
A Liyang or Giant frame is absolutely nothing like a Miyata / Koga-Miyata frame in either technology, quality or finishing.
Yes, they might all be bonded lugged carbon / other frames, but that's it in terms of design approach and similarity.
Miyata were in a world of their own in terms of investment, quality and finishing. And they didn't make frames or parts for anyone else so no one shared their bits and bobs - apart from the K-M frames of course which were in the most part Miyata frames for the euro market branded by a different company.
They weren't a frame shared by Giant / Liyang / other made in the same factory.
I'd have this myself if I wasn't focussing on other projects!
