Hi Needles.

Your bicycle is interesting to me. I have never seen or heard of a Kamra brand name bicycle before. The headbadge decal is the same format as the 1983 Kawamura built Nishikis, with the obvious changes for the name. Those Nishikis, if I am not mistaken, were all lugged frames. Yours appears to be TIG welds.

I am interested to know how you know that it was made by Nishiki.

The 1983 Kawamura built Nishikis all have "Kawamura" on the non-driveside chainstay. Does your Kamra have this?

Also, if you do not mind my asking, what is the serial number? Is it the same format as Nishikis?
