The "FullProScandium" is the bike of the Skil-Shimano professional team, which gives it a somewhat special role in the professional peloton, as most professional cyclists now ride on carbon frames. The Dutchman is in love with detail, and not just because of the start number holder under the top tube. The Koga logo is not only emblazoned on the front of the head tube, but also on the left and right of the fork crown, in the rear dropouts and on the saddle clamp. The frame is beautifully crafted, the weld seams have a so-called "smooth welded" finish and are barely noticeable under the paint. However, the paintwork is not particularly durable, which is not only a nuisance in rough everyday professional use.
ConclusionClassic racer with a detailed appearance and no major weaknesses; well crafted. However, weak in terms of paint durability.
