Needs grip tape and a tune-up but is ready to ride.

Paid $125--how'd I do?

Has nice quality Shimano 600 stuff and Dia-Compe brakes.

Serial No is S1 1A277. Can't figure out the vintage from web serial surveys, but it seems pre 1975?!?!?

$125 is OK....not a great deal but you didnt over pay.

Not sure about the era, I would check the date codes on the components. My 1975 Nishiki had a different font on the Nishiki decals.

Need a picture of the drive side of the bike. Looks like a clean one!

Any markings as to frame tubing??
