Koga Miyata Full Pro
Hey there,
I kind of accidentally just won this on ebay. There wasn't very much information on the auction but I found an old thread here that suggests it was once fitted with full DA 7400. I'm sure Elev12k or T-Mar will chime in with some interesting tidbits that I am really looking forward to. The condition doesn't look impeccable but here are a few pics:
I will upload more when it arrives. Just for reference the serial # is: SC 43322

Coincidently I only 2 weeks ago stumbled upon that a MY FullPro. In my size, all original and hardly ridden. Actually very close to new condition. They don't come up often where I live. The older blue-gold panels you encounter sometimes on classified sites, but these later ones are almost like a hen's teeth.
My FP is equipped with full DA74XX. Single pivot brakes and dt shifters. The group includes the post, but the stem is a DA AX example for some kind of reason. I haven't made a serious ride with it yet, but the meters I did on it went promising. Of course it is a 1st class professional level bicycle, on paper a bit similar to the Panasonic PR-6000 I also happen to own: Advanced real nice quality steel frame, full 7400, Japanese.
You can view your frame in the 1990 catalogue on the Koga site.

I do see the Koga brochure does not include the spec sheets, but I think I will have them somewhere. Let me know if you are considering a 100% correct build.

Hello,
Thanks to those who responded and for all the info Elev12k. If you wouldn't mind sending the spec sheet my way I may consider going all original. I'll be sure to take a look at the catalogs. Thanks!

The fact that it has a number hanger suggests it's a former team bike. In 1991 the Tulip team (formerly Lemond's ADR team) rode Koga Miyatas. Maybe that's one of them.

The 1990 FullPro models. Three flavours: Titanium, Carbon and Hardtlite FM-1 steel. A couple years later KM also issued a Columbus Max tubing model, as 2nd steel offering, next to the one using their own tubing. Below the FullPro range normally sat the 'Pro' or 'ProRacer'. For 1990 a 'Pro' model. A little less sophisticated but still very nice frame and again Dura Ace.

Sweet! Again thanks for all of the responses and info. I think I'm going to have to try and build this one up all original if possible. I'm a little on the poor side right now but hopefully selling off some C-Record parts on ebay as I'm doing now will make me enough cash to get on my way.
