I finally got a look at the Nishikia Centurian a co worker had and its really cherry, looks like its been ridden a dozen times I couldn't find a single scratch on it anywhere. He had thought it had some surface rust on it but come to find out it was cigarette smoke film. Seems his dad smoked in the garage where it hung for 25 years or so. It came from Denver so humidity was not an issue so it never rusted on any of the steel parts and the chrome parts of the frame are virtually new. He has a real sentimental attachment to it and I know he want way more than I'm willing to pay so I made him a standing offer of 175.00 if he decides to sell it. What do ya think
