I’ve recently inherited my late father’s Koga Miyata Globe Traveller. He’d used it for a few years, on trips to France with his mate and as with enverything he owned it was fastidiuosly looked after and maintained and as such it is pretty much in showroom condition.
I live in the Lakes and as such most of my riding has been on my Tallboy LTc. I have more recently taken to road riding and have a place on the forthcoming Fred Whitton sportive. I’m enjoying the road, perhaps a little more than i should admit, but with the pressures of a young family I do not see me using the Koga at all.
Ironically, the Koga probably means a lot more to me that it did to my father, but I’m having to consider selling it on to free up some cash/garage space.
Does anyone have experience of the Koga Globe Traveller – should I keep it for sentimental reasons or for some far in the future adventure (its got more panier bags withit than i can count). The money from a sale would go someway to a new Di2 groupset that I’m quite tempted by at the moment.
