Nishiki Marina find

I know the bike isn't top of the line.
But it was only 60$ and its absoulutely perfect.
Shifts perfect, rides so smooth and fits great.
I think its around an 81 or so, low end model.

Just happy for myself I found it and grabbed it.

Looks nice and clean, but if the lower photo is showing the right saddle height for your comfort, the bike is too big for you. Nice deal though, congrats.

No I actually raised it up, the height of the first picture is where I like it and feel best at.

Thanks, I was going to ask if I got it at a good price but I think I forgot.
Honestly it doesn't matter though, I am way to happy with it.

Good price. My Marina 12 is a fun bike and doubles as my indoor trainer bike in the winter
