How to ID an old Nishiki frame?
Hey there,
I recently bought a "vintage Nishiki frame" off of CL.... there are two hearts welded on the downtube. I was wondering if there is a way to look it up and find anything out about it based on the serial number.
Any info would be appreciated!!

The hearts are stops for clamp on shifters (the upper one) and a clamp on cable guide (the lower one). They're fairly common. That thread linked to above is your best bet.
