That is a dilemma. A Cadex isn't very valuable or highly sought after. It is a nice example worth preserving, but it is also a bike that rides pretty well. Of the same year I have the ALM-1. Your frame looks like a 52cm to me.

When you bought a Koga-Miyata new in the early nineties it always came with touch up paint. In the case of this frame two pencils: black with glitter dust and a special red translucent carbon-paint. That is probably what you see on the dent. Possibly it has certain characteristics to protect...

Are they Miyata branded Panaracer tires? Koga had them around that time. The dent isn't an issue for using it. Internally there is an aluminium tube btw. The frame is very overbuilt.

Another TerraRunner-Carbolite with the seat fitted: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1991-koga-miyata-terrarunner-carbolite.829/

I think the tires are original. The seat is original.

It looks like a crack and probably is one. 15 years ago I bought a mint, rarely ridden Almega XT. Mint, except for that is it showed cracks at the strangest places. I put the parts on a steel e-stay frame.

Nice work!

The TerraRunner-Oval above is nice, but not as nice as the RetroDavy RidgeRunner. The RidgeRunner is built by Miyata, what is the case with Koga frames up to 1996. The TLO frame comes from Hodaka. The Hodaka frame is light, well made and does the job, but it does not show the same level of...

1992 Giant Cadex CFM-1 frame. The '92 CFM-1 model originally came with the then new XTR m900 group.

I do remember that Zorbers forks from the 1994 Giant Escaper model. In 1994 I bought a Cadex CFM-3. Suspension was the new thing. The lbs could offer me the Zorbers for 200 guilders less than a Quadra 10. I gave it a try. The forks was not meant for hard core riding. After a year the crown broke...

Nice project. I will follow it. The bike is earlier than my '88 RidgeRunner: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1988-koga-miyata-ridgerunner.238982/

Interesting. Your frame and fork are ready for two U-brakes or Euclid callipers. I have a CL1-frame in silver. My frame is ready for both cantis on seatstays and U-brake under chainstay.

Hi, it looks pretty much like a Batavus Hunter. Batavus had them made elsewhere. I don't know where. https://www.mtb-news.de/forum/t/carbon-alu-composite-rahmen-batavus-hunter-rh-54cm-von-1993.762611/
