All
thanks for your replies. I understand that the bike is not a Terry, but that it is 'terry-style'.
jim : "Might take a good LBS to set you up though."
sorry, LBS?
tmar: "The subject model is likely a circa 1987 model. Pics may allow me to determine the exact year. The serial number is not any of the recognized Nishiki formats." "Most of the proportional women's bicycles used the 520mm version"
thanks for your knowledgeable response. Its in pieces now, so pics not possible - soon I hope. That is indeed the serial number. The numbers you give for the 520 tally - I'm looking for a 520.
Vinci - thanks for tips on tires
Bianchigirll "Hello longcranks, welcome to the forums"
thankyou, very courteous.
"is there something on this frame that says Terry? are we sure this is a ladies geomentry?"
as I said, it's 'terry-style'. "ladies geometry" - guess so, small people anyway - 700mmm rear and 24" front. The color scheme - purlple and lilac - doesn't exactly scream male.
Grim - thanks for the history
Robbie - I did search, couldn't find, then I did an advance search and it told me the term Terry couldn't be found ?!
