The shape of the head tube lugs matches some of Nishiki's higher-end Kawamura-built frames from the late-70s and early-80s. If it is, it will be a very nice ride, indeed. The raw fork crown looks like a one-off customization by the owner, possibly part of a repaint. I'd be curious to see what the serial number on the bottom bracket tells us.
