I bought the following Nishiki bike at a LBS in September of 1990 near Montreal. I remember paying about 600 CAD for it at that time. Markings indicate the following:

Nishiki (Sport Series)
Model: Silhouette designed by Norco
FD: Shimano Sport LX
RD: Shimano Sport LX
Hubs and Shift Levers: Shimano Exage Sport
All other components: Shimano Exage Action with "Biopace" Chainrings
Seat: Vetta
Rims: Araya 700C
Serial Number: CH03503 (from my reseach I believe this means that it was made for the Canadian market in 1988)

(Photo files too large to attach)

Question: I can find no reference to the Nishiki "Silhouette" or where it fell in the hierarchy at the time. Can anybody help with more info on this bike?

Cheers,

Fasteddy.
