1979 Koga Miyata Roadspeed L 60cm

This Koga Miyata road speed comes in the sought-after camel colour. The lightweight frame is made with Hi Manga double-butted steel and features front and rear eyelets to fit mudguards and/or bag racks - making this the ideal base for a lightweight vintage touring bicycle. 

The frame is kitted with a 6x2 Shimano Arabesque groupset, Tourney brakes, Arabesque levers, SR Custom stem and handlebars. The bike has double brake levers which make for a more commuter friendly cycling position. Lovely Custom Sakai crank with Miyata engraved arms and drillium chain blades. Leather Selle Royal Rolls saddle.

Tire clearance will easily fit 32-622 tire (without full mudguards). Last photograph is for reference only but features a 47-622 tire *just* fitting in the front (not recommended so big!).

We have left this bike mostly in its original condition therefore a friendly price

New stainless gear and brake cables
New Elvedes brake blocks
New Bike Ribbon Professional bar-tape

60cm frame is suitable for people 175 – 185 cm

About Koga Miyata

Koga Miyata is a famed Dutch bicycle company… that is actually a partnership with a much more famous Japanese company, Miyata Industries. Koga Miyata started with the use of Japanese components and frames in the 1970s whilst the design and assemblage of the bicycles was done by hand in the Netherlands. At first Koga Miyata only produced racing bicycles and found major success in the IJsboerke, Capri Sonne and Tulip teams in the 1980s- 1990s.

Founded in Japan in 1890 Miyata was initially an arms company but subsequently became one the most famed bicycle brands in the world. Miyata pioneered triple butting and revolutionized frame-building techniques. So confident in the quality of their products Miyata frames are guaranteed for life.
