Bikes: changes often

Nishiki International Serial Number KJ21789
I bought this bike new in 1980, so no question as to date or history. It is original, no changes or modifications. Even the tires and tubes are original (and still hold air). I think I paid about $325 or $395? By the time we paid off the credit card- it was more like $900!!!

I can't recall what the original handlebar tape was like, but I have found some original style gum brake hoods. Any info on the correct tape would be appreciated. I plan to keep the bike original, just for the memories.

Lots of pics- good reference for a 1980 model:
