Obviously, I have too many bikes right now!!
Realize Nishiki never made a bike, they made brochures. This is not unusual on vintage bikes and does not make the bike worse or better.
Chain? KMC Z33/Z30. Less than $6 on line.
If you have a co-op in your area, check there first as the ones around here sell chain CHEAP.
Not true. I was a supplier to Nishiki in the 90's and 00's and they were designing/making (asian frames painted and assembled in Kent, WA) and marketing the bikes. Call it what you want but almost every manufacturer contracts the build of frames.
