Here is my 1970's (Nishiki?)Sebring, recently bought and restored by myself and the local bike shop. We're not actually sure if it's Nishiki or not as it does not have any of the Nishiki numbering or labeling, just the "Sebring" sticker in the front. I bought it for $10 off someone who had it in a climate controlled storage area for nearly 40 years. I didn't do many drastic changes besides the conversion from stem to downtube (the stem shifter was almost non-functioning), but I think it looks a lot better and it rides like a dream.

Changes:

• White handlebar wrap to Black
• All cable housing is now black and is symmetrical (The old white housing was all over the place)
• New chain and cables
• Nixed the stem shifter in favor of a clamp-on downtube shifter
• New Tires and Tubes

What's next:

• Black Fenders
• Possibly a paint retouching, although I don't have the slightest idea how to match the color.

EDIT: I redid the downtube shifter myself after the bike shop blunder. I attached the newer picture in its place.
