Great thread!

I've owned a 1986 Nishiki Prestige, unfortunately I don't have the S/N handy:



It was originally equipped with Suntour Cyclone friction shifters and Sugino crank. The wheels are original with Sansin hubs and 700C Araya rims. This bike had "Handcrafted by Kawamura" on the left chainstay.

I currently own a 1988 Nishiki Sport, S/N G6933637 (on ST)/C68K (on BB). I bought this as a frame/fork and don't know what the original parts were, but I suspect it used Suntour V-GT derailleurs and stem shifters:



Both frames are 58cm (c-t).

I have collected many random Nishiki photos, some with year info, at http://yojimg.net/bike/nishiki/.

Cheers,
