I won this from jamisdiablo in a retrobike auction. I want to sell it and some other bits for charity.

It is very light and appears almost unused. Logos perfect. Probably Ti rails. Looks like someone has done a 'titanium test' with a dremel or some such as there are marks on the rails that you can see on the pics - don't look to me like they'd affect integrity.

No idea of value or if it should be on MTB or road sale section. Online search found only one like this and that was listed on ebay for 129 euros. I reckon it is quite rare but they must have been having a laugh.

Thoughts appreciated.

Re:

Well.......
On a close look I think this isn't Koga Miyata at all but a rather skillfully put together re-covering. Looking at the underside there is a clear 'glue line' and it definitely looks like an old cover has been removed. Only spotted this after 'incorrigible' offered to buy all the way from US of A. He agrees it is fake. Would have been excruciatingly embarrassing if I'd sold it :facepalm:
