Nishiki International project PICS
I picked up this Nishiki International today for $15. It’s a nice bike with no major issues other than being neglected. Suntour Cyclone derailers, 27 inch alloy wheels, Super Maxy cranks, Cast Suntour GT drop-outs, dia compe brakes. It also had a really cool oldschool Blackburn rack that isn’t shown in the pics. The serial # ends in 78, and the brakes are stamped 0277 (Feb 1977?) So I am guessing it’s a ’78? I plan on keeping and riding it for the time being. I should have some re-furbished pics soon. So my question is, are these Internationals well regarded bikes? Or is this another gas-pipe-bike-boom-bike that I so often have littering my garage?
