I have taken a look on your pics for finding a tubing decal, but I couldn't find one. Anyway, when a bike has a decal with what you say on the seattube, it will be a decal with green in it and that would denote Tange #2. A #1 decal has red in it and mentions something like superlight.

I checked two FullPro forks I have available. Both had Tange stamped in the steerer, but unfortunately none of them mentions whether 1 or 2 is used, so taking the fork out won't unveil anything.

Good to see the bike gets used

Koga Miyata FullPro 1981 update;


I recently had again contacted Koga about this frame, this is What They Said:


"Thank you for your email of May 6, we apologize for the delay in replying.

We have checked internally by Various people, but there was no one who give the right information That Could Help. There was only one employee who Could tell us it would and most likely be the team bike of Daniel Willems. Daniel Willems did not like to run with a Dynamic Drive frame.

We guarantee you Sufficient information and wish you lots of cycling."

I also had a contact with a collector who had this bicycle in his possession. He now only have a few bikes in his possession which are very special and even two original race bikes one of them was owned by Peter Winnen. They also called him "Piet Koga and his blue smurfs" The frame I owned was at the time brought to the U.S. by one of the engineers and has since years stored in attic area. So this bike was made for Daniel Willems

Meanwhile I have already changed some parts

- Shimano 600 AX 100mm stem replaced by Cinelli Record 130 mm
- SR Champion 38cm handlebar replaced by a 42cm Cinelli Campione del mondo
- Shimano 600 shifters arabesque replaced by Dura Ace EX
- Shimano 600 AX Front Derailleur replaced by Dura Ace EX
- Shimano 600 AX seat post replaced by SR CT P5 Laprade (is Dura Ace EX)
- Dura Ace brakes first generation replaced by Dura Ace EX
- Shimano 600 brake levers replaced by Dura Ace EX (not pictured)

Still things I need to replace to get the Capri Sonne team bike original:

Dura Ace EX Lever hoods
Dura Ace Dura Ace EX Cranckset with DD pedals
Dura Ace EX headset
Mavic GP4 rims black tubless
Champion FrameTubing and Fork decals

If some can help me, you’re welcome!

Class! A real thoroughbred.

After more than two years, my Capri Sonne team bike fully restored.


Almost all parts have been replaced and the bike is now fully assembled with original Dura Ace 7200 EX parts. The wheels are original Mavic GP4 rims and DA EX hubs. The stem is a Cinelli Record R1 and the saddle Concor Super Corsa that most drivers drove their road races at that time.


I like to share some pictures of this bike with you.
