As promised, here are some pics of my mid-seventies Shields Nishiki Landau, which I bought new. Over the years I upgraded the swaged SR Apex crank to a Shimano 600 EX and replaced the 5-speed to block with a narrow 6-speed one with a 28T low cog. I also added a Norco rear rack (a fraction of the cost of a similar-looking Blackburn one) and gold coloured ESGE fenders, which you can't get anymore. The original tires were 1-1/8 x 27 and it now has 1-1/4 x 27 Norco tires. I also stripped the front fork down to the chrome, as well as part of the rear triangle. Originally the chrome just showed on the dropout surfaces, just like my Ultimate.
