Was it that white and Orange Kooga bike based on the track bike?

I think the Mercyx is compact, or the Pinarello. Have you checked the usual bike show photo sites?

The Dutch "Koga" is a rebadged BT...the Dutch cycling federation is IIRC sponsored by Koga.

Perhaps the Kiwi track bike ridden by Sarah Ulmer? Not really a cut-out though...

Good question...I've always seen photos of Benny on a bike labeled "Motta" or "Giani Motta." I didn't know Motta went into bike production and I've never been able to find these frames listed anywhere...I assumed that they were indeed Motta frames since I can't imagine someone having another frame re-badged as a Motta when you can't even locate a real Motta in the first place...

Anyway...I'm not over there in Europe, so I may just have the Atlantic blinders on...

i am not sure if they still have that bike in their program

i mailed them a few month ago and they told me that that bike isn't produced anymore but they are working on a new model

but since then nothing happened on their website and no further info in their newsletter too

Nice bike. You seem to like the compact frame, do you have a sizing issue that this style offers yo ua better fit?


Yes that was a horribly worded question.
customerjon @gmail.com is where information happens.

I don't like this bike so much, just a friend who asked.
