I too have a Kojima Eagle, Sime Darby frame Shimano Exage 300 7 speed groupset with indexed downtube shifters. I like the elyptical Biopace chainrings. Bike weight 12kg. I ride alternate 30km and 50km routes each afternooon and between 130 and 160km on Saturdays - just for fun. I've upgraded the bottom bracket to a sealed unit as the original 3 piece required too much maintenance. Also changed the 12-23 cassette to 11-27, shifts are a bit rough but I can push at highter speeds and also push the hills around the blue mountains. On my last 50km ride which includes 150m climb and descent average speed was 29.8 kph. I did however have a 30kph fall after hitting oil on a downhill corner aproaching Cattai Creek.

I love the bike, it's strong and reliable. I have no desire to change to alloy or carbon fibre. I would however like a 7 speed campo groupset.
