Description:

The Koga Miyata Pro Racer from 1979 is a true icon of vintage professional cycling. Originally built for elite riders, this model gained fame through legendary cyclist Peter Winnen, who rode a Koga Miyata Pro Racer for Team Capri Sonne on the epic climb of L’Alpe d’Huez. Alongside the Pro-Luxe, the Pro Racer stood at the top of Koga Miyata’s lineup in the 1970s, offering unparalleled frame stability and performance.

This particular bike remains in completely original condition, featuring its factory paint and strictly period-correct components. The frame is hand-built from high-quality Tange Champion double-butted Chrome Molybdenum steel tubing—lightweight, responsive, and fully comparable to Columbus SL in terms of ride quality and durability. It is equipped with a fully original Shimano Dura-Ace groupset from the late 1970s, including the advanced EX hubs, renowned for their precision, reliability, and timeless engineering. The authentic Koga Miyata Ariake Jaguar 2 saddle completes the meticulous factory-spec setup.

An authentic piece of Dutch-Japanese cycling heritage, this Koga Miyata Pro Racer represents the golden era of road racing. Extremely rare and preserved in exceptional condition, it’s not only a highly capable machine but also a collector’s dream for enthusiasts of handcrafted vintage steel road bikes.

Condition: 

Used. Completely overhauled and serviced at the RSB workshop in Munich. The frame and fork show no dents or cracks. The magnificent original paintwork is original and in excellent condition. It shines brilliantly and shows only very minor signs of wear, which testify to its authentic riding history. Mechanically, the bicycle is in perfect, completely restored condition.
