Okay, Koga brochures. The point with Koga brochures is they do not fit my scanner. They are huge, pretty impressive brochures. Always gloss black cover with (most often blue) 'Koga Miyata' and 'The quality people in cycling' on it. The brochure definately is developed with the aim to breath quality. Anyone who has ever seen one knows probably what I mean.
This 1993 brochure came in two parts. One part with the bikes and one part with specs. Most recent brochures even included a DVD.
As the Koga brochure doesn't fit my scanner, I scanned each bike seperately. Koga offers much more than only MTBs (Koga is actually way bigger in the segments Racing, Touring, Randonneur). I decided not to scan the full range, but the MTBs and a few more.
RidgeRunner-Suspension (RDG-S)
Carbon front, alloy lugs. Hardlite FM-1 steel rear
Full XTR
Syncros stem, bar, post, bar ends
Showa suspension forks (Showa also manufactured Tioga forks)
Yamaha shock
Miyata Elevation 12,000 in the US
SkyRunner Carbolite
Carbon tubing for front and rear, alloy lugs. Bonded and bolted contruction.
FatMax fork. Alloy, bonded and revited (canti studs)
Full XTR
Syncros bar, post, bar ends, stem
SM Titanio
Elevation 10,000 in the US
TrailRunner Carbolite
Carbon front with alloy lugs. Polished alloy tubing for the rear.
FatMax alloy fork (glued and revited)
XT/DX
Syncros bar, stem, bar ends, post
Elevation 7,000 in the US
TiRunner
Titanium tubing for front and rear, alloy lugs
FatMax fork, alloy bonded, revited
Full LX
Nitto
Though lower specs this bike was 100 guilders more expensive (4395 instead of 4295) than the above TrailRunner. Because of the titanium of course.
Elevation 8,000 in the US
TerraRunner Alloy
Full alloy, bonded, bolted etc
FatMax II Hardtlite FM1 fork
Elevation 5,000 in the US
ValleyRunner Alloy
Alloy front, Hardlite FM1 rear (brazed at the dropouts)
FatMax II fork
Nice frame, but it made this Exage bike more expensive than many XT competitors.
Elevation 2,000 in the US
ForeRunner
Hardtlite FM1, brazed with lugs
Hardlite FM1 fork
500LX
Pretty much similar to my 88 ValleyRunner and the Ridge Runner H-Ball wun the DH Worlds in 1990 with. Of course some modifications like larger head and shorter stays.
FullPro Titanium
Roadbike with titanium tubing bonded to alloy lugs
Dura Ace
Syncros post and ti bb
Ringle Ti Skewers
Nitto
TerraLiner Carbolite
700c hybrid/cross bike with carbon tubing for the front. Alloy lugs and rear.
I owned the 1992 TerraLiner Carbolite. It was my first proper bike. Nowadays TerraLiner Carbolite is to me the most impressive bicycle in their current line up. Carbon everything and weighting in at under 10kgs including fenders, rack... Current TLC
