Quick comment about the specs and what I’ve done to it personally, it’s not too much really because I like it the way it is.
It’s a 1994 Koga-Miyata (Dutch quality brand) with the first generation Shimano 105 sti’s (8sp), changed the cassette from a 13-26 to an 11-28 and the inner chainring to a 39 (was a 42 and ever since I stopped taking EPO I just can’t hold that anymore). Changed the stem for a shorter one because that top tube goes a looong way, and since the frame is just a bit tall for me. Swapped the saddle and bought some nice wrong-in-a-good-way deep section alloy’s (Superstar Components, not too well known, handmade in Brittain). And I put on some bar tape that’ll divide opinion.
She’s my pride and joy! 🙂

That’s a nice looking bike. Looks like you’ve kept it in great condition. Happy riding!

Love the geometry. Would rather see that in a window reflection than anything else!
