This is a really awesome frame but I've decided there is no room in the stable for it. $180 OR BEST OFFER for frame/fork/headset. I'll leave the campy downtube shifters on if you want them. The paint job is pretty awesome and in really good shape except for the inside of the right rear drop-out (as shown here) which you may want to put some clear nail polish over. There are some cool skull & crossbones decals which are under the clearcoat as well as a strip of flags on the top tube (also under clearcoat). The "4" decals are on top and could be removed. The top tube is about 56cm center to center and it is about 55cm center of BB to center of top tube. BB shell is english/ISO. Seiki Levin headset is very smooth.

The decals seem to indicate some sort of pro team/rider from the 80's. I haven't been able to find any information on that online but folks more educated than myself agree this is definitely a Nishiki Ultimate. Due to the custom paint and the fact that Nishiki never had the Ultimate in catalogs, it is unknown exactly what year the frame was made. This frame is dying to get some older campagnolo (or Shimano 600) bits if you ask me! I have a ton of pics HERE. Thanks
