A friend gave this bike-less girl his Nishiki 7 speed instead of selling it for $40 on CL. He garaged it, is an occasional light use rider and bought it new but doesn't recall the exact year. It still has The Bicycle Den - Granada Hills, CA sticker. It's all original except tubes and possibly tires. I thought it would be easy to find its likeness on the internet, but not having much luck. The Thread: any information on Nishiki Katmandu? from 2008 is spot on except the SN maker, fluor orange instead of fluor green drop shadow logo and no reference to Katmandu on this bike. Crossing fingers worth keeping!

Update: I spoke with the former owner who said there was an option to buy a stock bike or have one assembled (which was cheaper) so he opted for that. He paid $400 in 1991 or 1992 - that answers to why it's been challenging to find its likeness.

Nishiki 1992?
