Which Nishiki Frame is this?

Hi Folks,

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what model Nishiki I have. It was repainted, but the paint is in poor condition, and the only identifier is the headbadge. I could not find a serial number anywhere on the frame. It has a Tange Levin headset. The components that were on it are from the early to mid-70's.

I was thinking of rebuilding it, but I decided that I have too many other things going on right now, so I am planning to sell it locally. But as a fan of Nishiki bikes, I would really like to know what it is. The lugwork/brazing is not very high quality, and the frame is quite heavy. My Kawamura/Nishiki Tri-A frame is so much nicer by comparison .

Thanks in advance for your experienced opinions. I appreciate it!

Regards,

Warren


Note: the paint looks better in the pictures that it actually is.
