Bikes: Are several.

Nishiki Prestige 1985 built, 1986 model?

One more: Nishiki Prestige, serial # WE17702

Tange 2 tubeset and fork, purchased as frame/fork only (well, along with a Sugino SP-K seatpost, unidentified headset, and Suntour downtube friction shifters nicely fitted to the brazed-on bosses, maybe LD-3750). Seller tells me it came with gold anodized 700c Araya rims, Sugino VP crankset (110bcd), Suntour Cyclone derailleurs and Suntour Superbe brakes (47-57mm reach) plus levers...all of which he appropriated for his comparably more dimunitive frame when he passed off this 25" (c-t-t) metallic blue-green Tange 2 gem to me. Here's a pic:



I've seen posts elsewhere on bf make reference to 1985 Prestige models with other Tange tubing (Infinity?) and 27" wheels, so this may mark close to a change in model specs?
