Nishiki Riviera GT frame - worth?
What is the approximate worth of a Nishiki Riviera GTframe?
It appears to be in good shape.
I see some braze ons. It does not appear to be set up for cantilever brakes.
I am thinking $75 max.
"Rare Nishiki Riviera GT (grand Touring) Bike Frame Chrome-moly Tange Tubing Double Butted . I call this a black beauty, and she is a beauty Seat tube measures just a tad over 23 inches so 60 cm the cross bar is the same. This is a lgreat bike frame, Has a nice color well made, classic japanese road bike Includes bottom bracket, forks and head set No rust dents cracks or repairs,"

Would need a better pic. If the paint and decals are good, well worth it. I would give it more value than your estimate, to someone with an ample parts bin.
I would be surprised if it does not have canti bosses.
OK, with pics below, pass on this one.

Please don't confuse ebay "asking" prices with "selling" prices. Many sellers never get their ask price. some are far from it. Value is determined once an item actually SELLS. Its easy enough to check SOLD prices.

$160 (price on ebay) is too much. I don't know about $75, but I'm sure you could find a similar complete bike for less than $160. Pass.
