Bikes: Nishiki Comp II ('79), BMC UC01 ('12), LeMond Prolog ('21)

Many thanks T-Mar. With help of this list and closer inspection of a very subtle label on the bike, I have identified it as a Comp II. From the KI 20447 code - I denote that as a Kawanura build in 1981. But it does not completely match up with the '81 catalogue I found posted on Flickr. It's got Suntour Cyclone derailleurs, Sugino mighty crank, Dia-Compe side pull brakes with quick release, tire guards, drilled levers and gum hoods. The catalog says the '81 Comp 11 has Grand Compe side pull brakes. It squares with the catalog other than that discrepancy. The bike is a dark blue with brown lettering - a nice combination with my brown brooks saddle. I could be wrong about the price - but I know it took me two paychecks to secure the amount I needed on my meagre salary.
