damn right it was worth it. Near the top for nishiki, I have a 1981 comp II, yours has nicer lugs and a prettier fork. Mine is Unicrown. Also you have the added bonus of a slick looking ss or fixed gear with out the braze ons, mine has a full compliment of braze ons and it is currently in fixed configuration though it will go back to geared with a full campy NR group as soon as I get a FD, cranks, BB spindle, and brake calipers... oh they were made by kawamura in Japan, post the seral number and T-mar will nail down the date for you.
