Sorry, perhaps I get numbed by looking at so many bicycles. I get a lot of inquiries, especially on Japanese models, with Nishiki being being very high on the list. Frankly, given the age, the overall condition is probably about average. What does excite me, is knowing that you're still riding it after 28 years.

While it's nice to see a NOS or E+, 30 year old bicycle, it also tells me the bicycle hasn't been ridden and enjoyed as intended, which makes me sad.
