Adventurous bikes for people who prefer a special bike above the more mainstream products. The Adventure and Adventure-Lady represent the perfect combination between the ideal sit- and user comfort of the Mountain Bike and the positive, light running characteristics of Randonneur cycles. The description of this bike is hilarious: They would also introduce the Koga Miyata Adventure that year.
And 1986 was the first year the Dutch cycling manufacturer Koga Miyata would enter the fray with 2 models: the Koga Miyata Ridgerunner and Terrarunner-E. Videoĭuring the eighties a new era in cycling was dawning, which would be known as mountain biking. This story is about his journey back to life.
I had bought a Koga Miyata… well, at least what was left of it.įrom the day I bought on August 15th until literally the last day of 2020 I would work on it on and off until it was ready to ride again. But that guy didn’t show up and I was second in line. I got flagged with an email and immediately send a message I was willing to buy it. Luckily for me he changed his mind and put it up for sale for a mere €10 euros as a “fixer upper”.

The previous owner didn’t know how to repair it and the bike’s sorry state meant it wasn’t worth the investment at the local bike shop.Īnd so it was meant for the scrap heap. It sought me out, somehow knowing I would bring it back from the brink of death and return it to much of its former glory.Īfter years of service the tired bike’s chain faltered and started skipping.
