I think you do not see them often in the Dutch bike topic for the same reason you do not see Concorde overhere. It is a kind of hybrid of international colaboration. The Koga-Miyata frames give you the impression of a Japanese frame (the Miyata part), while the Concordes look Italian. There is certainly a substantial part Dutch DNA involved, but so far this topic tends to be on in Holland put together and painted frames with typical Dutch characteristics.
