Hallo,
I am just new in the forum. After getting inspired to get into more extensive bike travels than in Europe I was thinking of buying a Koga Miyata Randonneur Extra. My actual 'bike' won't last much more I think...
Does anyone have experience with this bike?
But of course as my budget is limited I was thinking of getting it second hand, and indeed I got an offer for a 16 year old model with 'only' 8000km, newer magura brakes and Shimano Deore XT. What price would you rate as the most convenient. I am just hesitating as about if a Koga Miyata bike is as 'timeless' as it is said, regarding specially the durability of the main frame and the components.
Does anyone own the bike and has encountered any major problems over the years?
Thank you
Daniel
