Koga Miyata Mountain Bike X Runner - What's it worth?
Hi Everyone,
I'd appreciate any advice you may have on what a bike may be worth (and whether it would be a good hard tail bike for a beginner).
I came across a Koga Miyata X Runner. The label says its an Alloy Design 7005.
I don't know much about the bike and neither does the owner. Here's what he told me:
- He's asking $580
- his brother bought him the bike new around 8 years ago (2011 ish) and paid around $2k for it
- he only lightly used it; condition looks close to new
- he sent me additional pictures, which I'll try to post
- The components:
- Rock Shox Judy
- Disk brakes
- Shimano Deore LX components throughout
- Ritchey seatpost
- Mavic rims (Crabss? - hard to make out from the pic)
- Schwalbe Racing Ralph tires
- Selle San Marco saddle
I'd appreciate any info you may provide!
Thank you

No way that bike was new in 2011. The fork and cranks place it at least 5 years older than that.
And I am doubdtful an early-mid 2000s HT with an LX group and a Judy XC fork was $2K new.
They are asking way too much. And lying. Pass.

Good call. I found it here in the Koga 2004 catalog: https://d2zxu9tg022395.cloudfront.net/files/6/2/4/Koga_Brochure_2004.pdf
Just out of curiosity, what do you think it's worth? Is it something you'd want to build up or just ride as is?
