have a Nishiki Competition here with a "strange" frame code that I can't read or decode.
WBT01201V
too many letters at the beginning and an extra letter at the end of the code.
Never seen before in this combination.
Can one of you help me ? Thanks.
Welcome to the forum. That looks like the format used on bicycles intended for Denmark. WBT was the prefix assigned to bicycles imported byTaarnby a/s, the Danish importer and distributor for Nishiki, while the V suffix denotes 1961, 1982 or 2003. It obviously isn't 1961,as the Nishiki brand did not exist at that time. Pending photos, 1982 would be the leading candidate.
