The white grips are on this Nishiki International touring that was purchased new by the owner but has sat unused for a long time. A friend of Mrs browngw, she recently asked if there was any to rebuild her old bike as a hybrid, on a strict budget of course. Using parts bin items and lots of touchup paint it came out nicely and is lightweight and a pleasure to ride. She just loves the new life given to her old bike.
