You might be right on the boring day thing.

The post was not necessarily for Nishiki Gold. A lot of people read through this thread, to learn about Nishiki brand and/or Kuwamara Built bicycles, no matter who the post was for. This includes many of the old posts. This thread has become a repository for WCCSC, Nishiki, Kuwamara, Giant, etc. information.

Not all of the posts requesting information have been responded to, or responded to with definitive answers. So, when I see something, no matter how old, that I am pretty certain of, I put in my two cents (or less).
