    Even older as the Tour de France, Paris-Brest-Paris is the main event for randonneurs (audax riders), the fans of the original distances of cycling.

    Koga Miyata Flyer, audax version

    I just registered here after finding this site and forum yesterday. Let me introduce myself by sketching my current rebuild project, a Koga Miyata Flyer. Koga Miyata audax bikes have been the mainstay of the Dutch middle class semi-racer/audax bikes in the eighties. Back then as a por student...
