    1989 Koga-Miyata SkyRunner

    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...

    1989 Miyata Ridge Runner Team

    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...

    1993 Fat Chance Yo Eddy

    Yes, I used Mike Sanders on my Aquafade Yo already 20 years ago. You need to heat the stuff up to 100+ degrees and you need a compressor with serious spray gun. I can't think of better protection. A spray can Fluid Film ASR offers also good protection and much easier to work with. They are...

    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!

    Batavus Professional SLX

    Here a pic of another Professional SLX. I regularly visited the lbs to see what was traded in. The shopowner often kept interesting stuff seperate for me. On a day he showed me this SLX. I think it is a refurbished KNWU frame. The steerer is marked 'KNWU'. I sold the later era Campagnolo...
