Good workmanship and attention to detail have always been a strength of the Dutch brand. The "Team Edition" does not disappoint in this respect. The almost classic-looking aluminium frame with its geometry, beautifully finished welds and intelligently solved cable routing is a feast for the eyes, the paintwork is flawless and also quite durable. Koga also doesn't shy away from the rarely used triple version of the new "Ultegra". Solid and colour-coordinated add-on parts and a comfortable saddle round off the good picture. The only weakness of the bike is the very simple Shimano wheels. However, a bottle cage with bottle and a good mini pump are included.
