Picked up a Koga-Miyata SilverAce today after the unfortunate end of my 1989
Koga-Miyata RoadAce project.
Probably a 1996 model with Koga's Hardtlite FM-1 tubing (chromoly, potentially splined triple butted frame tubes) and a high manga steel fork. Cream of the crop in
3-speed 7-speed city bikes at the time. Fairly light at less than 17 kilos (
37 lbs) for a fully featured IGH bike.
As you can tell I'm pleased and I'll be starting a project thread soon.
My plan is to overhaul it and turn it into a nice and durable commuter with SA drum brakes + dynohub and add some racks.
