My latest addition to the (Koga) Miyata fleet/collection: a showroom condition 1980 FullPro-L
The 1980 Koga-Miyata FullPro-L was the top of the line roadbike in the 1980 KM line up. The frame is built with Tange Champion #1 (the lightest Tange offering back in the day), neat microfusion lugs and Shimano dropouts and on top BB guides. Lugs and (open) bottom bracket show cut outs in 'M' shape. Miyata logo on top fork crown. Absolute flawless build quality, 2nd to none paint. The Japanese had really made a leap in the years before it. Ready to blow away the competition - what they did in the 80s.
Specs:
full Dura Ace EX, including 'Dyna Drive' system, 'Hatch Plate' mech, aluminium headset, the blue straps and so on
featherweight SR Extra Super Light seatpost with ti hardware
Cinelli 1R stem, Cinelli Criterium bar, leather covering
Concor Profil aero shaped seat
All in a shape like in the shop when new: high gloss paint, no marks, no wear, great condition hoods and so on. It didn't came cheap, but this is a clear case of quality will be remembered long after the price paid is forgotten.
Pics to follow. I am really excited.
