This 1981 year ProRacer uses Koga Miyata's FullPowerDrive (FPD) geometry. The frame is designed around Shimano's Dyna Drive pedals concept. With these pedals your foot is positioned in the center of the (virtual) axle, instead of on top the cage (for improved pedal feel and low drag position). Hence Koga specced a slightly shorter seat- and headtube, but in length it is like a regular 58cm C-T frame. A decal on the frame mentions "58FPD".

Sold as complete bike. Decal present on frame that makes mention of the original Dura Ace EX specs. SR cockpit and post. Concor seat is non original.
