I bought a nice Koga Miyata race bike, that unfortunately had been converted to a fixie. I don't mind fixed geared bikes, but this seemed like a waste of a nice vintage race bike. So I decided to convert it back to have more gears. Originally the bike would have been 14 speed, but I updated to 20 speed (2x10) with Shimano 105 components. This video covers pretty much the whole build. The bike is a 1992 Koga Miyata Exerciser. **If the video was useful or interesting please give it a "thumbs up" and consider subscribing. -Website: http://www.RJTheBikeGuy.com -Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RJTheBikeGuy -Subscribe Here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=shyflirt1 -YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/RJTheBikeGuy

slam that stem!

very good video but can you do a video on how to build a d.i.y electric bike would be really intresting I

Great information there RJ... thanks for the ideas now running through my head when I see a nicely built fixie .... also running the lg gearing for climbing with the larger chain ring in front for speed... now that's what I need in my all arounder...

I never knew I could enjoy an hour long bike building video.

An unusually succinct but well demonstrated, well explained, fun video covering many aspects of bicycle remodel, repair and maintanence. Loved it! Thank you Bike Guy!

Thanks for your informative video. I never thought that a frame can be spread out. However I am little curious that if a bike-frame be spread out like that, isn't there any danger of frame break-off in any riding? or only chromoly steel frames can be spread out?

The bike looks great. Just wanted to say thank you for posting this video and other on your channel. It has shown me enough to make me want to do my own bike maintenance and purchase a starter tool-kit. Also, convinced me that I am capable enough to upgrade the components of my 2002 Fuji, which will be my winter project.

I just ordered a single speed fat bike along with it's respective 8-speed geared conversion kit. While your project is a little different than mine, this was still a HUGE help for me. Thanks!

i found your video very informative. can you make a video on converting a bike which is not really intended to add gears? like no derailer mounting brackets no gear cable holders.

Superb job I've never seen converting a bike like this one, Although it takes a lot of tools and work but all are fantastic thing to see. I'm pretty sure the feeling after converting this bike is really fulfilling

I did the 105 5800 and mavic aksiums upgrade on my trek 470 1997 and It is just so cool how these steel frames turnout they ride amazing... good job with the koga cheers mate

I have some stripped screws on an aluminium frame. Is it bad to drill them out?

beautiful! any videos on convert triple chainset to double?thanks

really worth watching for enthusiasts like me

What part of the country you're at RJ?

I'm planning to buy a fixie and upgrade it too. Possible I'll have to be upgrade it to the pros.

5 star. HATE fixie. #fixiemustdie

what do you call that thing that keeps the handlebar from moving?

RJ do you know what parts you used? cranks, bottom bracket, wheel, hub, derailleur,cassette? and do you prefer a certain setup like 5-2...

Hi RJ, how much this upgrade costed? Thank you.

Also would you sell this bike?
