Hi there,
A few months back I got my hands on a Koga Miyata RidgeRunner dating from 1987. The seller told me; the bike was his wife's, however she never used the bike. Her boss gave it to her years ago as a gift. That's pretty much all he could tell me about the bike.
Bike as in catalogue: https://d2zxu9tg022395.cloudfront.net/files/8/0/4/Koga_Brochure_1987.pdf
The bike was collected as in the pictures below. The bike was collecting dust for a while and came with two flat tires. The condition is used; some paint damage here and there, hardend suede Vetta saddle and some slight surface rust on the seatpost. However, the bike appears to be in pretty much original condition; M730 groupset (rear derraileur excepted) , Nitto stem and bars and ARAYA RM20 rims.
I am planning to rebuild/restore the bike and record the progress in this thread.
