Wheels, crank, brakes, chainset - Shimano Tiagra
Bars, stem - Nitto

Whether it is worth it to you is entirely up to you.

I don't know where your post went, willroy , but no, i don't recognize the bottle cages. They are a nice finishing touch, added by someone who had a clear vision of what this bike should look like. I like them a lot, and would look for something similar.
In the meantime, the King Iris cage would be an acceptable placeholder, I think, should you need one. Or two.

non-fixie hey yeah I got fed up that I can't post links or images so kind of gave up here. I again just wrote a post with links and it got refused and lost the original 
Anyway the kings were tempting - thanks. but i perservered and found them "moreo inox" they dont make the exact same but now with a plastic attachment but my suspicion is that i can just remove that and it'll be the same underneath. So ordered one to try

Get your post count up to 10 and you'll be rid of them and free to post pictures, links and whatever.
Anyway, thanks for the name of those cages. And it does look like those colored inserts are indeed removable. I agree they do look better without them.

This forum has some anti-spam measures, which work well. Unfortunately, they also work well against new members.

I have been trying to dig around for the model and I think its a 1991 full pro roadracer, decals were removed from the frame but I also notice "Drouwen" on the frame, a town in NL it seems.

The frame in the picture looks to be a 'Carbolite' item. They were introduced in 1989 for the FullPro, and trickled down to other models in later years. I don't know whether those were the exact same frames. Perhaps Elev12k or one of the other Koga-Miyata specialists can enlighten us on the subject?

I only found one other image of the same model online, the 3rd one here looking very original (www)lfgss.com/conversations/272013/
Nice, looks like he's checking the psi, they can be quite scrupulous

Two years later...
The brochure scans will continue. I have a new, much quicker, scanner nowadays so this will be good for some rainy days.

Hi everyone! After just purchasing my first vintage bike, I stumbeled upon this post. Great reads, some of you have clearly put a ton of work in it for readers such as myself to enjoy. When I can, I will post some pictures of the Koga Miyata 1984 Flyer I just found. It’s had only one previous owner, is in original condition and still riding smoothly. I will take it apart and clean it, already found the missing brake lever for a few euros. Thank you for providing so much information in one place, I will defenitely keep track of this post. Kind regards,
Flip flop, Utrecht (Netherlands)

Very nice bike! Do you happen to know the tire clearance? I suppose around 25mm?
