Nice bikes......but a question.
I don't understand the point of the build up of the Nishiki.
Looking at the bike I see the top tube is parallel to level. but I see the actual axle's front and rear are not level. This seems to be due to a long length fork which offsets the longish head tube and then again offset by a smaller front wheel....
Ok, maybe it's just me, and I sure someone is going to explain to me the obvious (except to me) reason for this setup, but to me it just seems a unnecessary exercise in engineering...though it still looks nice!
