Koga Miyata Road Racer(08)

Abstract:
A monocoque construction, the Road Racer embodies all of the beliefs driving Koga's approach to bike design: form must always follow function. Shunning the current trend for nanotube resin, it uses a tried and true 12k carbon weave combined with traditional square geometry, producing a frame weight of 1160g.

Our test bike was a 58 cm frame, so the claimed weight of 1050 grams is probably for the 54 or 56. (Or just a manifestation of standard bike industry optimism - Cynical ed).
