We've had European mid-range Nishiki turn up under names like Trim Master, Road Master and Race Master, so it's likely some variant of the Master model name.
Hi T-Mar
Thanks for the info. I guess i wasn't to far off with the year.
Mid-range? I thought the ONP was the top of the line or is it meant in accordance with the groupset? What would be the top of the line in terms of components in 1982? Suntour Superbe?
