Just an average bike boom tank
This 64 cm Nishiki custom Sport was donated to the bike exchange last week. Nothing special. Just a bottom of the line bike boom 10 speed. It was a tank with steel wheels and Cranks and weighed a whopping 36 lbs. when I brought it home. What made it special is the paint. Practically pristine, the deep Burgundy paint was like new. After a thorough cleaning and judicious touch up with Rustoleum burgundy enamel followed with a wax job it was stunning. I decided to give the old girl some new jewelry and did a thorough modernizing, ultimately replacing everything but the frame and kickstand to create a sturdy, smooth and sexy townie for a big guy . It has a 39 tooth single chainring in front and a 14-28 tooth shimano hyperglide 7 speed freewheel in back, and now weighs 28.3 lbs.
