I think I paid $280 for it new. I remember the salesman telling me the next step down was an Azuki that was not double butted like the Nishiki. I'm glad I got the Nishiki.
IIRC, the top tube was shorter than most current bike styles, which is great for city riding.
I saw a Nishiki Olympic Royale still in the box, I don't know the year but it just happens to be the same
size as the one I bought way back in the early 70's. Mine is still geared (sorry) but I'm looking for parts
to build up an old fixie. I also found this Fuji w/the kewl curved tt but it's to small.
