That would be great.
The Custom Sport was typically postioned as Nishiki's upper, entry level bike. I'm not aware that Nishiki made a Custom Sport in 1989. I thought the last year for the Custom Sport was 1987. In that year, it had a double butted, chromoly frame, downtube-index shifters, and a very nice Araya 27" wheel set with rims as narrow as those found on 700C Nishikis of the same vintage.
