Nishiki.

Who has a Nishiki bike?

I gave this one to a friend. It's an '86 Nishiki Century.

Mine is in the process of, well, everything!

Daddy Long Legs, mid to late eighties Nishiki Expedition. Currently in pieces all over the garage and basement. Really hoping to get it rolling this season

87 Rebel? I recently rebuilt for my bro in law. Before and after shots.

I have an old Nishiki Frame under my desk at work. I got it for the cost of shipping because the rear derailleur hole was ovalled out and stripped. Otherwise it’s in excellent shape with good paint.
Odds are it’s getting a fixed gear 700C wheelset with the fattest tires I can put on it and a retromod path racer type build.
unless I change my mind an odd number of times.

My next build I am going to use 700c wheels and green cyclocross tires on a 27 inch frame.

I also saw this 24" yesterday. It was very interesting and I had to take a picture.

That’s a cool frame.
I would have bought it.

I just sold this curb find. Kinda pained me to see it go. Guy who bought it was over the moon. I got asking price of $450 for it two hours after posting. Guess I priced it too low.

You found that beaut on a curb?!!! It is a sweet bike, e-stays have a cult following. You found the right buyer. Lucky bike, lucky buyer, lucky you. Win, win, win!


*Yellow pedals kinda stick out, though

 

[horsefarmer]

I like it. Kinda got a funky John Deere vibe.

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

Yellow pedals and neon Orange Vetta bottle cage were just old stuff I had and put on to get it sold. It had Onza clipless pedals when found.

You can take the chain off that thing without using a chain tool. Great for belt drive conversions.

It is way too small for me. It is a 36cm frame.

 

[Swampthing]

That might even be too small for my short legs.

A few more pics of Nishiki and Azuki bikes that I have seen at the co op.

Those later square tubed Aliens were very fragile.
