Looks like I am going to be picking up a Nishiki Tri-A on Monday. Seller and I have worked out all the trade/cash details, exchanged tons of pics and details about the bikes, and if we both find everything to our liking, this will be a new addition to my stable on Monday. I really like the looks of the bike, and it seems to be in very, very good condition. Would love to hear what you all think......I'm excited, as it's my size, I think it's a gorgeous bike, and it looks to be in great shape! Am trading him a well used older Surly Cross Check that I have for his bike and cash. Nishiki has all 600 gear, except for tektro brake levers, and internal cabling for not only the top tube, but also the down tube and stays. Rear stays look to be chromed under the paint. Am really looking forward to checking it out first hand on Monday.......hopefully it all works out.
