This is the Mark II version of the bike in thread
2045 A 1987 Nishiki Cresta GT, I had a crash in March that bent the forks which @
gugie was kind enough to help straighten back out, it got the bike back on the road but unfortunately it didn't
feel quite the same. I found a fork from a 1986 Schwinn Passage off ebay. And it took a few twists and turns but I got the fork rattle canned and installed and now the bike feels like it's back to its classic stable touring feel. I have added a Carradice barley bag, need to redo the bar tape and I have some metal fenders on the way.
