Anyway from reading the thread intro, it seems like this bike might be quite old....
Nishiki Bushwhacker
18" frame, 21 speed, rear U-brakes, single-unit handlebar&stem
Serial CH 2543
(FYI, The site won't let me attach photos, until I make 10 more posts..)
Anyway....per your serial no. criteria, Canadian-made by Norco....1978 ?!?
Any correction and insights much appreciated.
Welcome to the forums. Your Bushwacker was manufactured in 1988. There were no U-brakes in 1978, let alone production ATBs. Being 1988 manufacture, it could be a 1988 or 1989 model but my 1989 Canadian literature shows all the ATB models with fade paint schemes, so yours should be a 1988 model.
