This is one of my best finds. Rick Case Hyundai in Cleveland collects old bikes to give them away for Christmas. I usually go in to fix up a few bikes and make them rideable.
Yesterday I was there for my wife's car when I walked past this Nishiki at the door. Yep, it was to giveaway to anyone. So, it was rescued for the BF list and T-Mar's database.
