Koga-Miyata folder

[bangkok]

This picked up from the Folding Society blog post from Anti-Pods .... http://foldsoc.blogspot.com/

From Holland, the upmarket Dutch/Japan 'FOS' bike with a unique front suspension, and sold fully kitted out ... though a bit heavy.

Looks interesting. The weight isn't that bad for fully suspended and it appears that it has a rack, lights and fenders. If so then that weight is quite reasonable! It even has leather grips.

Koga Myata is indeed a dutch manufacturer. They make high quality bikes. Their folder is problably one of the best folders on the market esp. the riding and gearing seems to be awsome.
(this info i got from different tests available on the net, in dutch)

The downside is the price: 1499 Euro !!!!!!

I was very impressed with their website a while back when someone from here linked and mentioned the folding tandem.

Great components, Wish I could ride one. Depending on how serious you are about your hobbies/sport/passion, US$ 3000.00 is not an impossible investment on something that will bring you so much happiness.

Koga builts nice bikes ... a little on the konservative side usually ( which isnt all that bad ) usually also rather pricey .... unfortunately

I haven't seen that Fastrax damper design on the front fork before.

I wonder how it stacks up to the German-A/Kinetix Q Fork on the Dahon Jetstream P8?

If it's the same brand, Fastrax is this bike/component manufacturer ... though their website is dated
