Old Thread, NEW post / question
I believe my Nishiki is a 1971 based on known history and the serial number (Extremely difficult to read). SN is K-71-00190, on bottom bracket, near as I can decipher - it's hard to read between the "K" and the "71". I see no stamps between those two markings. I'm seeking to confirm model, build date/origin. It has the Molybdenum/Chrome frame with Suntour comps - basically. Red paint with bar-end shifters. Serial # doesn't seem to jive with previous posts data or downright lack of info. Previous posts seem to indicate 2nd part of SN is a letter referring to Month of mfr. Mine has no such letter; My SN is K-71-00190. Any insight or info would be appreciated. This is a special bike to me - a gift I received from my brother in the late 70's, that he purchased used(a couple of years old)
in about 1975. Any info would be greatly appreciated by me, and, based upon the lack of info I've found, may be of interest to others as well. I can provide pictures if anyone is interested.
