Ok, I've been trying to catch on 3 weeks of no internet (I'm ok, really.....lol)
And I have seen several of you have Nishiki bicycles.
I have recently bought a Nishiki from a garage sale for $5.00
The one I have is a Nishiki Sport, with the following:
Suntour AR Front and Rear Der.
Sugino XT Front 3pc (Aluminum)
Shimano Rear rim/hub (steel) - to be replaced with the rear from my Lotus Elan (takes it from 10 to 12 speed, and gets rid of steel for Aluminum) the 'new' rim is Jou Ya F23 - 6 gear shimano
Jou Ya F23 Front rim/hub - from the Lotus (the rim that was on it was warped badly and had a shredded tire and tube)
Dia-Compe 1284M Quick Release alloy Calipers with matching Dia-Compe Quick Release System levers
"Custom" Aluminum Neck
Champion Handle bar
and of course I've put on my Bell Torchaire headlights (2), 5 Led multiflashing rear light, and my alloy rear rack (for my lunch and work clothes.)
The bike has seen a lot of abuse, however the frame is perfectly straight, and the forks are in good shape...
I am planning a full repaint. (I'll be doing it myself)
current color is Burgundy with Gold neck and decals....
new color will be Dk. Burgundy with all accessories in metallic Blue....(to match the Dia-compe calipers.)
Any information about these should get posted for all...
Please list your Nishiki and all components.
