Hey thanks a million. Ill check out the seat post if theres anything on it, yeh the frame must have been repainted as theres no hint of previous Nishiki writing. i can see that the seat post says Taihe Compe or else Taihel Compe. The handlebars are road champion they might be original too as I recognised them in other pictures on the database.
Heres a few links for the photos if you can't see them. I hope they work.
