Thank you [MENTION=20650]T-Mar[/MENTION] for this excellent Nishiki resource it helped me figure out I picked up a Giant built Nishiki Casacade built in March 1984.

I picked up this bike for $11 just to get the bull moose bars and SunTour thumbies but I see that biplane fork and I start to get silly ideas about rebuilding it.

Its rough and its got a stuck seat post but I am hoping I can deal with the seat post and at the very least pass this along to someone who'll bring it back or least make a commuter out it so that biplane fork can fly down the roads and trails again.
