This frame would fit me, and I actually like the paint job. But what kind of a model name is "Exerciser"? :rolleyes:

Koga never been like super creative with names IMO. Easier just keep the numbers models the japanese used instead of re-inventing the wheel :P

I had a miyata many many many years ago, good stuff.

If I were into these things that would be a bonus! Humor...

To my eye the paint looks weird at the headtube area. Maybe just lousy pics?

Now "get out" and ride your bike! Out!

I have a 54cm GranWinner frameset available if it interests you. It's Pink and blue, screwed and glued alloy. Very cool frame...wish it was a 53.

I was looking at that frame too.

Seems to be good tubing but I think I saw something about them cracking at the ports in the top tube for the cable.

Yeah, I saw this too looking at the same frame earlier this week. I'd ask for new pictures of that area from the seller before deciding.

"Exerciser" would be a good name for a stationary bike, not a real bike.

Love my 81 Team Miyata and 83 Koga Miyata SuperWinner.
Added a few braze-ons and some Dura Ace 7800 to the SuperWinner, makes an excellent tourer.

Nice, you going to get it?I was considering it, but I'm working on another project now, and want to get that done first before I undertake a new one.
