This is a TrailRunner form the 1992 modelyear. It has a welded aluminium and bonded aluminium 'FatMax' forks. The TrailRunner had a sister-model with similar specs: the RidgeRunner. The 1992 RidgeRunner was an e-stay frame. Next to the welded aluminium frames Koga also carried bonded aluminium...

Three years younger TrailRunner frame (1992): Differences that I can spot: I think somewhat larger diameter tubing, monostay, toptube cable routing, canti mounts on the seatstays and the bonded aluminium 'FatMax' forks. Seatpost 27.0 BB-shell 73mm Rear spacing 135mm Headtube 1-1/8

Very nice and interesting. Yes, it is pretty rare. There are more of the RidgeRunner. I encountered another one (or this one?) on a trail several years ago, but that is what I have seen live. This model was succeeded by other welded aluminium frames, like the '91 and '92 TrailRunner and the...

Miyata manufactured the frames for Koga from 1974 up to 1996. In the early/mid 90s frame production in Japan became very expensive and other frame production locations gained momentum (Taiwan). Models like the 1997 Survivor of 1997 Explosion (twin down tube frame) are made by Hodaka, even though...

I am pretty sure this is 1994

Nice score! I think this will be about my favourite GT.

I think you did really well! I do still have your old '91 TerraRunner-C. It is the second one in this pic >>

Hi Steven, yes I do remember. That was a long time ago. Twenty years? You got the frame form Heemskerk and the Pro-Flex from Purmerend? It looks very nice. Congrats!

I think they are appreciated by many. They are among my favourite bikes.

Panasonic was available in Europe too. In the Archive you will find catalogs in German and Dutch. Panasonic left the US market around 1990 and the European market around 1995. They are still available in Japan. There is an interesting website that covers in particular US line ups >>...

Both the 9000 and the 900 are excellent for transporting bikes.

Yep. Here my 9000 anniversary. I do also have a scarabee green 900i-16.

57cm '91 TerraRunner-Carbolite :cool:
