where do you folks place nishiki in the lineup, generally speaking?

I've owned a miyata and a fuji and I defintely felt the Miyata was superior in quality. Not talking models now, just overall attn to detail, ride, etc.

Also, in buying one of these old bikes, assuming you want some peformance out of a frame (lively ride, etc) would you absolutely stay away from a model named "Sport" something or other? I know sport was more or less the 1980s equivalent in road bike catalogs for 'tourist' in the 70s and 'comfort' in the 90s......ie, lame. pls correct me if i b wrong
